 I have always been passionate about peace. I have always loved the blue, green, brown of sky and earth. I have always motivated to make a difference. I have always loved to empower women. I come from women who are the heart of the families. Who sit on their thrones smiling like cats. I come from women who have been internally displaced. I come from women who have been internally displaced. I come from women who are strong like a rock. Silent workers. Who are visionaries. Who do not have the right to speak for themselves. My heart is aching. My heart breaks and rebuilds. My heart is full of joy. But my hands are open. My hands initiate change. My hands are hardworking. My hands are open to give more. Mis manos son magia. I am able to face the future. Yo puedo ser como el rio que abre caminos. I am able. I'm able. I am able. And I'm able to create happiness in sorrow. To go to the moon if that is what I choose to do. I am able to crumble soil and polish diamonds. I am able to challenge the world. Je suis capable de construire la paix. I am able to change my story and that of many other young South Sudanese women.
