So proud that

A friend shared this photo of my dad in NYC today. This image of the boy he was when he went to St. Michael’s breaks my heart. But it also leaves me in awe of the man he was able to become - how he reclaimed the beauty of our culture, language & community in spite of it all. 🧡

A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.

The amazing Jelo, husband of @NusratJamil father of @NJLahori passed away in his sleep last night. He will be terribly missed. A great man, husband, & father. One of the last photos of the family all together & one from his youth. Life is so ephemeral...RIP JELO.

People are still trying to escape the conflict in #Sudan - @bbclysedoucet’s has been speaking to those who’ve fled. Of the children caught up in the violence she says “what child should have to go through this ordeal that even adults find so difficult to comprehend”. @BBCNews

We have just left Sudan after our last report from the capital. It's been an insane, painful, educational and inspiring trip from Djibouti to Jeddah to Port Sudan to Omdurman.
