I recently joined COSIA. Condoleezza Rice’s memoir was the book we discussed. If it were not for COSIA I would have never read the book because of my disapproval of the previous administration. However, I was so grateful that COSIA widened my horizon in a book selection and life perspectives. I shared my ultimate dream of writing an article with the founder and president of COSIA. To my great amazement, she connected me with other people and provided me with a specific action plan. I am excited with the first step I have undertaken towards achieving my dream.
