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!

“We have to make sure youth are involved in every part of the process.”
UNHCR high profile supporter @uBadr spoke today on the importance of storytelling for refugees, climate change and youth activism at this year’s Washington Youth Summit on the Environment.

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 🙏🏼❤️

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.
