On January 30, 2012 the White House honored 14 leaders in American Diaspora communities with roots in the Horn of Africa as “Champions of Change“. These leaders are helping to build stronger neighborhoods in communities across the country, and are working to mobilize networks across borders to address global challenges.
These individuals represent a diversity of ethnicity, gender, age, faith, education, and personal experience. Each one brings a unique perspective to community building at the grassroots level in America and abroad. The passion that they each have is a testament to the dedication in their advocacy and mobilization efforts.
Each of the 14 leaders was given the opportunity to discuss the importance of what they doing at the local, national, and global levels. The entire “Champions of Change” ceremony can been viewed below.
