• Rokki and Asegedech shared their journey of applying and being accepted into Echoing Green.

• Applying for the fellowship was a long process that challenged both of them mentally and emotionally.

• Rokki had to tell her story authentically, which caused a shift in the way she saw herself and why they began this work.

• The two took a break after the application process to volunteer with Reform Alliance in Philadelphia and went to New York and New Hampshire.

• While in New Hampshire, they appreciated nature, reconnected, and were reminded of their capability to achieve goals.

• They finally got the call from Echoing Green with the news that they made it through the application process.
