Meet Polla

I work as a journalist and as an advisor to politicians, as well as advocating for human and environmental rights. In the past, I have also worked in marketing and public relations. I love getting to bring people together and make the world a better place!

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

You should always strive for what makes you happy, and don't take your family and friends for granted. As a Kurd, I can tell you that life is about enjoying every second you have, and sharing that joy with those you love, no matter what. My people had to go through a lot in the last 1,000 years, so we developed a culture of joy, with a lot of music and dance and food to cope with the not-so-nice things in the world. So my advice is to be the good in the world, enjoy every day and always help others.
