3 quotes

People don’t trust the government, feel no government presence in their communities, and often only see governance during elections.

I wanted to tell citizens that democracy is not just voting every four years; it’s working with the government throughout an administration.

As someone with 15 years in civil society, my drive was to make citizens hold the government accountable and be part of governance.
