A Thousand Sisters_ My Journey Into the Worst Place on Earth to Be a Woman - Lisa Shannon [111]
My thanks go to everyone in Congo who shared their stories with me. To everyone who donated to Generose’s house. To everyone who has ever donated, run, hosted a house party, volunteered, or in any way supported Run for Congo Women.
And to my beloved Congolese sisters.
