My sister Maya and I had the chance to speak with the talented Asia-Pacific Obama Leaders about leadership, the values that are important to us, and the work they're doing to lift up their communities.
Today I got to hear from @GuitarsOverGuns—one of @MBK_Alliance’s Freedom Summer ‘22 recipients—about how they’re working to support young people on the South Side of Chicago.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens, it will offer spaces and programming just like this.
When Nathan Ellis showed up to @GuitarsOverGuns, one of his favorite spots on the South Side of Chicago, he and his fellow aspiring artists got a surprise of a lifetime when President @BarackObama walked in.
We sat down with Nathan to hear all about the experience:

Visiting Lilydale First Baptist Church took me back to my time as a community organizer. This is the neighborhood where I began my career in public service.
I’m excited to announce that 105 inspiring young people from across Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Europe will be joining the @ObamaFoundation Leaders program.
I was at @Stanford with the @ObamaFoundation to talk about the rise of disinformation around the world and the threat it poses to democracy. We all have a role to play here, so let’s get to work. pic.twitter.com/IO6oi5CdQs
