Revolution 101

Share

We’ve been talking regularly with Mariem Masmoudi. Mariem left college in the U.S. to be part of the revolution in her family’s ancestral home of Tunisia. Soon, her father was running for office, and Mariem was considering running herself. It was better than any seminar she ever took in college.
