At this year's gala, we are excited and honored to feature remarks from a former ILCM client, Oballa Oballa.
Oballa Oballa was born in Gambela, Ethiopia and grew up in a Kenyan Refugee Camp. He moved to America in December 2013, searching for a better education and a better life. Oballa graduated with a bachelor's degree in social work from the College of St. Scholastica and an associate degree in human services from Riverland Community College. In 2019, Oballa worked with ILCM as he applied for U.S. Citizenship.
He later brought about change as the first refugee and person of color to ever sit on the Austin City Council in November 2020. That same year, Oballa was awarded the Outstanding Refugee - Young Leader Award by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Outside of work, Oballa loves going on road trips and cooking.
Please join us tomorrow to hear more of Oballa's story! You'll also hear:
