She is excited to continue her involvement in Seeds of Peace and be part of an organization that fosters meaningful impact through the power of community and dialogue.
“I am grateful to be one of many young people from around the world who have been empowered by Seeds of Peace. By using dialogue as a tool to evoke understanding, to harness the power of empathy, and to recognize the traits we all share that bring us closer, we can become relentless agents of change in our communities. Being a Seed inspired me to do the best with what I have, always.”
