Endlessly grateful to return to @wesleyan_u —this time to lead the Patricelli Center for Social Entrepreneurship!

It was here that I first grew @narratio_org, pitched my first book, and witnessed the powerful impact of equity & intersectionality.

Here’s to a new chapter!

Yesterday I graduated from @harvard.

Baba always reminds me that stories are like windshield wipers during a storm; they won’t get rid of all of the rain, but they will make our way clearer.

Stories, and their tellers, made this moment possible.

Endlessly grateful 🙏🏼❤️

Great holiday gift.

This week I had the honor of joining young leaders from 180+ countries at #Youth4Climate in Milan 🌺

So grateful to have been part of difficult yet necessary conversations, each a testament to our collective power to mobilize, debate, and manifest a future we can all believe in.
