Just 10 years and the world has become so different.   Twice the number of people forced to flee their homes, according to the #GlobalTrends report from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.    We can’t let this trend continue.

Tonight we marked #WorldRefugeeDay in DC by listening to Syrian violinist Mariela Shaker. Her moving concert raised awareness of the enduring hardship faced by refugees across the globe. Congrats to UNHCR United States and The Kennedy Center for highlighting such a poignant theme so beautifully.

Spent yesterday evening at The Kennedy Center at a concert by the incredibly talented violinist & refugee advocate Mariela Shaker & the amazing pianist Riyad Nicolas. Beautiful way to celebrate refugees’ resilience. #WithRefugees

With 110 million people #ForcedToFlee, “it's crucial to remember that we are not mere statistics. Each one of us has our own unique story to tell, cherished memories to keep and loved ones to nurture and support.” - Syrian violinist Mariela Shaker at #WorldRefugeeDay in U.S.

I am thrilled and honored to have had the opportunity to perform a recital and give a keynote talk at Iowa State University. It was also wonderful to see Dr. Simon and Dr. Stacy Cordery, who touched me with their support and kindness.

I am so excited to perform and speak tomorrow at the World Performing Arts Center in Boca Raton. Thank you so much, Lynn University, for this kind invitation. Riyad and I will be giving a concert after the talk. I look forward to seeing many colleagues and meeting new people.
