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 🙏🏼❤️

In his rousing new piece "Representation" Poem, @uBadr harnesses the collective hopes + demands of the #Youth4Climate movement to demand change at the highest levels + remind us anything is possible if we hear one other. 💚

Two poets. Two former refugees. Two activists working to tell stories the world needs to hear.

A big thanks to @salina_abraha + @uBadr for their coverage of the #Youth4Climate: #DrivingAmbition event in Milan! 🇮🇹 🙌
Let's keep the momentum going and our #EyesOnCOP26! 💪 Leaders, the #WorldIsWatching 👀
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.
Thank you for the kind feature, DHC @KellyTClements!
It’s an honor and a privilege to work together to activate, highlight, and amplify the power of @Refugees—especially young people—across the world.
