I am grateful for all of the work that Global Lounge has done in Idaho since its inception to build community amongst people of broad cultural backgrounds. This endeavor of creating space for our growing diversity to be understood, embraced and celebrated is more important than ever and an effort that I am energized to advocate for and support.
