We are so looking forward to your remarks, and to the opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments!💛 💙.
And sometimes life feels like a dream. Thank you, @CarletonCollege. Honored to be the class of 2024's commencement speaker, and to be awarded an honorary doctorate from my alma mater. 22 yr old Kalia couldn't have imagined this and yet here we are.
