I'm thankful everyday for this lovely opportunity of being here. Durham is beautiful… the food is great, the people are warm and friendly and there is music everywhere.
The guidance and support received since you step in the U.S. and having a panel [of Global Champions] sharing their own experience, I think is very valuable. Nothing like hearing the things from someone living the experience."
Being a Global Champion allows me to share my country's unique perspectives, traditions, and values with others, promoting empathy and appreciation.
