 My name is Laura Tanna. I am 22 years old. I was born in Kurdistan, but I originally am a Musa Potemian. What brought me here was the NGO that I co-founded. It's the Middle East Sustainable Peace Organization. We devote for minorities and for peace generally, and we're all Middle East. When I was born, I was declared dead. And for some reason, one random nurse comes by and slaps me a couple of times, and my parents hear me crying. I believe that Iraq is kind of dead now, and it kind of needs the same slap that the nurse slapped me. I think my role is to be that nurse. As long as others can't do it, then we will do it. People have said that there is no more hope in Iraq. And when I see myself empowered enough to go all the way from Erbil to India to meet His Holiness, to know what were the steps and strategies that He followed so I could follow it, I think it's possible. If I can do it, then everyone can do it. I want to go back to my nation, tell them that we're not the only ones who are fighting this fight. I want the minorities in Iraq to know that they're not forgotten. I truly wish that my next year, when I watch this video again, I would be smiling and saying that, yes, we didn't just say that we will, we actually did.
