“I am personally very emotional and writing this in tears. This election means more to me than any before. I love this wonderful nation that opened up her arms to me when I was a prisoner of my dark circumstances and tragedies. I had hoped so intensely, prayed so fervently, and believed that this election could be a turning point for the land I love with all my heart.” –Işık Abla’s on her article featured by The Washington Times Higher Ground
