Tobon said it was inspiring to hear real stories of impact and see how conversations turn into concrete actions. “It was an honor to be part of this space where every voice counts, and where together we are building a future without hunger, where the key words are ‘justice and inclusion’ regardless of our color, our language, our customs. Where the only thing that mattered was raising our voices to fight hunger together.”
Furusa echoed Tobon’s sentiment about the power of the panel. “Being part of the panel at the Anti-Hunger Policy Conference and participating in Lobby Day was truly life-changing. What made the experience so powerful was the sense of unity. I stood alongside people who have lived through food insecurity, just like me, and together we used our voices to push for real change. We weren’t just telling our stories, we were demanding that those in power listen, and act,” she said.
