And so it ENDS! Yesterday was my last day working with @globalvillageproject. It was the best of times doing the work and engaging the community and some of the worst of times dealing with the nonprofit structure and leadership. I’ve made a conscious choice to remember the many lessons I've learned, the relationships I've formed, and the successful outcomes I've had doing this work. I’ll take the negative experiences as lessons to guide me throughout my journey and I’ll keep the great experiences with me for as long as I can. I’m leaving this space knowing that I did everything in my power to bring about real change in community engagement and as a part of the leadership team. GVP continues to be a leader in offering refugee girls access to the education necessary to pursue their dreams. I'm grateful to have been a part of carrying this vision for the past three years. I wish the GVP community much success in furthering this work. I also challenge the community to become advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion, supporters and implementers of transformative service, holistic student approaches, and centering culture in education, and builders and sustainers of intercultural communities. I will continue to challenge myself to do the same and advocate for this sector forever. To my @globalvillageproject ladies... know that y’all were the reasons for everything I did and tried to do here and I love y’all! You’ll always be my ladies... ALWAYS! I’ll be seeing you.🖤 To the GVP community... I know you’ll never forget me (I’m a favorite 😂), more importantly I hope my impact will make waves at GVP for years to come.
