Today, we bring back #BlackWomenWednesday on the #UprootedNetwork with an interview a year in the making! Remhai, the co-founder of #FreeTigray, joins us to share her #Uprooted journey and how it lead her to #FreeTigray. Over the last year and a half, we’ve worked on different projects together, and it brings me so much joy to celebrate her stepping into this light. Don’t miss all the sister love at the end 😘
