GGBC 3/2 on Zoom: Emma Osong - UNRAVELED: A Personal Journey Into Conflict, War, and Diplomacy

Dr. Emma Osong is founder of Women for Permanent Peace and Justice (WPPJ), women’s advocacy organization and an accomplished engineer in aerospace systems. She is the author of “UNRAVELED: A Personal Journey into Conflict, War, and Diplomacy,” an exceptional work in storytelling and word engineering. In UNRAVELED, the author weaves an emotional yet inspiring story of her daughter (Praxie) and her triumph over a medical prognostic that she will never walk again with that of the recolonized people of the former Southern Cameroons facing genocidal violence, fighting for and determined to overcome. Emma shows anew why survival and human transformation remain at the heart of all health challenges and violent conflict. The book amplifies Emma’s advocacy at international conferences and in media appearances for young women in developing countries to explore career paths in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, justice and STE’A’M (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). An informative and crucial voice not only in STE’A’M topics, but Emma also makes frequent appearances on the Voice of America, Equinox TV, ABC, and several podcasts on the need for social justice advocacy to safeguard our common humanity. She is committed to creating a world where women, men, and children all have the right to live in dignity.
