Hearing Alison's 30+ year journey a bit more was deeply impactful, Dr, Abuelaish's story broke down stereotypes for me and I need to expand my concept of intersectionality as a result of Dave Zirin's presentation. Thank you for all you do!
I appreciated Khaled Elgindy's presentation putting our work into the context of what has taken place over the past few decades, so much so that I bought his book. I really enjoy ending the summit with the prayer service on the lawn. Mitri's sermon was very meaningful to me.
