Blog Post Day #6
Today, we began
the morning early with a session led at the United States mission to the United
Nations, hosted by Ms. Magazine. I thoroughly enjoyed the part of the session I
was able to attend, but unfortunately was struck with the marks of an imminent
migraine halfway through the session, necessitating my leaving. I ended up
having to rest at the hotel through lunch and the afternoon, but was able to
feel better and rejoin the group for an event at the Ford Foundation building.
We attended a film screening for a movie about child marriage, produced by
Angelina Jolie. The event was incredible, as I got to rub elbows with John
Kerry’s sister, the filmmaker, and many other notable dignitaries. I was also
excited for the panel presentation afterward, as one of the women on it was a
photojournalist who did a photo set of child brides across the world, published
in the New York Times that I researched extensively in February. I wish I felt
I had more to write for today’s post, but my nasty headache really knocked me
out for the better part of the day, and inhibited my attendance at many of my
planned events.
Until tomorrow!
Justine
Hope you feel better for the play tonight!
