What motivates you to be a changemaker in your community? Having already known the trials of emigrating from Liberia to America, foster care was just one more bump in the road towards success for me. I co-Founded MY Generation, a youth-run organization that embraces the collaboration between youth of color and their circle of support. Although I’ve aged out of the system, I continue to create pathways for this generation and generations to come. In the near future, I aspire to complete my degree in political science and become an international immigration attorney.

New year, new us. Same mission.

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights is rebranding to honor the legacy of our founder and hero, Mrs. Ethel Skakel Kennedy. From now on, we will proudly be known as the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center

While our name is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We will continue to fight injustice, advance human rights, and hold governments accountable around the world in 2026 and beyond.
