Leave a comment

[ad_1]

Almaz Negash, founder and executive director of the African Diaspora Network (ADN), was selected alongside other council members for her dedication to advancing sustainable development on the continent through innovative U.S.-Africa engagements and initiatives over the past 13 years.

Members of the council include Silvester Scott Beaman (Council chair), Mimi E. Alemayehou, Rosalind Brewer, Viola Davis, Helene D. Gayle, Patrick Hubert Gaspard, C.D. Glin, Osagie Imasogie, Almaz Negash, Chinenye Joy Ogwumike, Ham K. Serunjogi, and Kevin Young. The Council will provide invaluable guidance to reinforce cultural, social, political, and economic ties between the U.S. and Africa, and promote trade, investment, and educational exchanges between the United States and Africa. Deniece Laurent-Mantey serves as the Executive Director of the Council. Members of the council were officially sworn-in on the 30th of October 2023 in the presence of the U.S. Vice President, Kamala Harris; U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken; and U.S. Senator, Chris Coons.

Addressing members of the council and their guests during the official swearing in ceremony, VP Kamala Harris said, “The work of this council is an extension of the work that we do on behalf of the United States, to show our sincere interest in partnership, understanding mutual connections, and seeing where alignments exist. This is critical in reinforcing relationships and our democratic principles. I am also excited that the council will be a way to reintroduce the U.S. to the continent.”

According to Deniece Laurent-Mantey, Executive Director of the PAC-ADE, “As President Biden noted in his Executive Order to establish the Advisory Council, the African Diaspora in the United States is a source of strength. We look forward to working with the Council to encourage efforts to strengthen cultural, social, political, and economic ties between African communities, the global African Diaspora, and the United States“.

The African Diaspora Network, run by Almaz, will also be partnering with Arizona State University to implement the USAID $80 million award to empower Africa’s youth through the Young African Leaders Initiative Legacy Localization (YALI LL) Activity. The award is part of President Biden’s commitments made at last year’s U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit to develop and expand initiatives to empower African institutions and people.

“ADN holds a distinctive position for making a meaningful impact, notably underscored by the appointment of our founder and executive director, Almaz Negash, to the inaugural Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement in the United States under the Biden Administration. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Almaz for this well deserved recognition” says Josh Ghaim, Ph.D, ADN Board Chairman.

Almaz Negash, Founder and Executive Director of the African Diaspora Network, says, “I am honored to serve on the President’s Inaugural Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement in the United States. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Honorable President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their dedicated team for their unwavering commitment to Africa and the African Diaspora. I am also delighted that ADN will be a part of the ASU-led coalition to empower Africa’s youths through the Young African Leaders Initiative Legacy Localization (YALI LL) award from USAID. I look forward to the opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and pool resources, with the goal of making an impact on the African continent and the communities we call home.”

Almaz, who has been a champion for diversity and social impact in Silicon Valley, was recently highlighted in De.Coded, a Human Atlas of Silicon Valley. Almaz and ADN are driving innovative approaches for diaspora engagement that go beyond remittances and extend to sustainable investments on the continent through initiatives such as the African Diaspora Investment Symposium, Impact and Innovation Series, the Builders of Africa’s future, and Accelerating Black Leadership & Entrepreneurship (ABLE). She will continue to use the ADN platform to mobilize, engage, and activate the African Diaspora to sustainably build and invest in the future of the African continent.

About African Diaspora Network:
African Diaspora Network (ADN) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization. Our mission is to harness and engage the intellectual, financial, philanthropic and entrepreneurial capacity of Africans and friends of Africa in support of economic and social development across Africa.

Her achievements include completing Scientist‐Astronaut Candidate training in 2015 with Project PoSSUM (Polar Suborbital Science in the Upper Mesosphere) and being part of the first crew to test a commercial spacesuit in zero gravity. In 2016, she was named as prime crew for Project Poseidon, which aims to further ocean and space exploration, while setting a world record for “most days spent under the sea.” She also received the Global Women of Vision Award in 2016.

Pandya also participated in a panel discussion with women in STEAM—science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics—leadership roles who discussed their successes, challenges, and advice to others in pursuing their career goals.

The following panelists were:

  • Alicia Ponce, architect, founder, and Design Principal of APMonarch
  • Tammera Holmes, CEO of AeroStar Avion Institute NFP + AeroStar Consulting Corporation
  • Erin Miller, pilot, and granddaughter of a female Airforce service pilot

The entire presentation made an impression on Judson University President Gene Crume.

“There are a lot of great programs and amazing speakers this fall across many campuses,” he said. “But, in terms of leadership, women in science, and the STEAM fields, there was no presentation better than this one we had at Judson. This presentation was the first time that Dr. Pandya spoke in Chicago. The rest of the panelists were amazing representatives from their fields, and each woman had a positive and uplifting story to share with our audience.”

Ruiz added that it was an honor to gather these women from diverse backgrounds and careers onto the university’s stage.

“Hearing their conversations, key takeaways, insights—everything that we experienced was wonderful while we were making a difference in students’ lives,” she said. “That to me makes me very proud and honored to be the host of the World Leaders Forum Inspirational Series.”

The event proceeds went to leadership, entrepreneurship, diversity, and RISE program scholarships for students at Judson University.

During Thanksgiving week, the University will reveal the official video of the presentation and photos. To view these, visit the website.

The festivities get underway with an opening ceremony beginning at 1:00 p.m. and the parade starting at 2:00 p.m.

BRUNSWICK, Md., Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The City of Brunswick is proud of its history and patriotism, which can be witnessed on Sunday, November 5th, as the city hosts its 91st Annual Brunswick Veterans Day Parade, making this event one of the oldest of its kind in the country. The festivities get underway with an opening ceremony beginning at 1:00 p.m. and the parade starting at 2:00 p.m. Once again, this event has been recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Veterans Day National Committee as an official regional site for the 2023 Veterans Day Commemoration and is one of only three in Maryland to get this designation.

The keynote speaker for the Opening Ceremony and the grand marshal for the parade is retired U.S. Marine Corps Major General James W. Lukeman. General Lukeman, who now serves as the president and CEO of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, commanded the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines and served as the Assistant Chief of Staff for the 1st Marine Division in Iraq during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.

Additional assignments for Lukeman included Director of the Career Course at the Staff NCO academy at Quantico, Virginia; Assistant for Strategy and Force Planning in the Office of the Secretary of Defense; Commanding Officer, Security Battalion and Chief of Staff for Marine Corps Base Quantico. And as a General Officer, he served as Commanding General of the Second Marine Division; Commanding General, Training and Education Command; Assistant Chief of Staff, U/C/J-5, United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command/U.S. Forces Korea and Inspector General of the Marine Corps.

Command Sergeant Major Michael Dills from Fort Detrick will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the Opening Ceremony. The Fort Detrick Color Guard and Brunswick Elementary School Choir will also participate in the event. Military Veteran and musician Darryl Brenzel will perform the National Anthem. Remarks will also be provided by Brunswick Mayor Nathan Brown and MD State Senator William Folden.

At 2:00 p.m., the 91st Annual Brunswick Veterans Day Parade will get underway. There are approximately 100 parade entries, ranging from marching bands such as Brunswick High School to veterans and military groups. Numerous fire trucks, antique vehicles, youth and community organizations are also participating and vying for cash prizes awarded in various parade categories. The parade’s emcee will be Navy veteran and Frederick Chamber of Commerce CEO Rick Weldon.    

World War II Veteran Carl Felton will serve as the honorary parade marshal for this year’s parade. SM3c Felton was born in 1926 and joined the U.S. Navy in October 1943, just four months after graduating from high school, at 17 years of age. After receiving training in Morse Code, Felton became a Signalman and assigned to the HMS Ceres. The ship was in charge of directing traffic in and out of Omaha Beach.

In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, the ship left for Normandy and took heavy fire off the coast. Felton was stationed on the bridge, sending and receiving messages. Many ships around him were sunk. He was stationed at Omaha Beach throughout the summer of 1944 before moving on to Cherbourg to help rebuild the port. Felton was transferred in 1945 to the USS Baker, whose main job was to search for mines. He returned to New York City on the Queen Elizabeth in 1945 and was transferred to the USS Scott, which escorted a captured German submarine to Washington, D.C. Finally, Felton was sent to Florida to assist in the decommission of several ships and was honorably discharged in April 1946.

After the parade, attendees are encouraged to attend a reception at American Legion Post 96 in Brunswick. Food and beverages will be provided at no charge for attendees. For more information, check out the Brunswick Veteran’s Day Parade’s Facebook page.

The nightly 40-minute light and sound show which portrays Lord Krishna’s life as a symbol of tenderness, patience, compassion, and love, was inaugurated by Agra’s chief minister, Yogi Adityanath. This mesmerizing presentation was accomplished by eight Christie Griffyn 4K32-RGB pure laser projectors, meticulously installed and commissioned by Modern Stage Service, a renowned systems integrator recognized for numerous projection mapping projects across India. Its portfolio includes prominent landmarks such as the Old Fort in New Delhi and the Sanchi Stupa in Madhya Pradesh.

“Bringing the legend of Lord Krishna to life through the captivating fusion of light and sound has been an incredible journey,” said Kartik Wadhwa, director of Modern Stage Service. “We are delighted to partner with Christie to strategically deploy the Griffyn Series projectors in weatherproof enclosures at the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple for this highly anticipated son et lumière, which reaffirms our commitment to delivering awe-inspiring visual experiences at one of India’s most cherished landmarks.”

Rishubh Nayar, sales director for India, Enterprise, Christie, added, “This new light and sound show at the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through projection technology, and we are honored to be a part of this iconic endeavor. The Griffyn Series projectors not only bring historical narratives to life, but also showcase the immense potential of visual artistry at this sacred site, enriching the spiritual and cultural experience for countless pilgrims and visitors.”
