A Worldwide Story
Nov 26 – So incredibly touched to hear the words of #TheDoll read from Australia, Italy, Brazil, and Ireland today, in celebration of 1 million sponsorships around the world since the Global Refugee Sponsorship Initiative launched its work in 2016. As Jennifer Bond, Chair/Founder/CEO of GRSI, puts it: The Doll is a worldwide story
Nov 14 – Had such a great moment of levity at the launch of “Back Where I Came From” hosted by the wonderful Omar Mouallem and Taslim Jaffer. Love how mere words can move a crowd from tears to joyous laughter. Can’t wait to read all the essays in full in this wonderful, insightful anthology about culture, identity, and home! And a heartfelt thanks to the friends who dropped in to support us!
Invictus
“In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.” — William Earnest Henley
