What is your initiative?
We support and uplift South Sudanese youth in Canada by equipping them with the tools, networks, and opportunities needed to thrive academically and beyond
What is your connection to your chosen community?
“The South Sudanese community is my family, my friends, and my home. As the daughter of refugees, I’ve watched my community navigate life on Turtle Island with resilience, supporting loved ones here and back home. We gathered in homes and halls, sharing both celebration and hardship.
Along the way, we built community as youth, learning what it means to be first-generation.
I continue to walk with my community—rooted in our struggles and lifted by a vision for a future shaped by our dreams.”
What are you looking forward to this year?
I’m looking forward to being refined as a leader and nurturing the gifts within my community. Most of all, I look forward to celebrating with my community and making new connections.
