“So, whatever you are feeling this week don’t run from it…Sit with it, because the universe is telling you that this kind of violence…is unacceptable. Figure out how to hold on to that righteous anger over senseless death.” Powerful advice. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

I met Maria Ressa in Iceland a few years ago and I was blown away by her bravery and beautiful uplifting spirit. She is such an inspiration and so deserving of this honor.
WORLD EXCLUSIVE: The call from Oslo.
Hear Maria Ressa’s reaction when she hears the news from Olav Njølstad, Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, on being awarded the 2021 #NobelPeacePrize just before the public announcement. "I'm speechless!"
