 Join the IC African Students Association as we host our inaugural speaker, Solome Lemma, a philanthropist, activist and organizer, who will speak about the ways in which we can engage and promote diverse, nuanced, and dignified narratives of our Continent. 

Named a White House Champion for Change, she currently spends most of her time working on Africans in the Diaspora (AiD), a new organization of which she is Co-founder and Executive Director. The organization aims to unleash the philanthropic and intellectual capital of the Diaspora to advance sustainable development in Africa. In the past, Solome has worked with the UN Development Programme in Ethiopia, Human Rights Watch in New York City, and International Rescue Committee in Liberia. Solome received a master's degree in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School and an undergraduate degree in international relations from Stanford University.
