We'll also be creating space to reflect on what was lost; to honor what was gained; to understand how the region has changed in the years since--politically, economically, and socially; and to realign on where this leaves us and what may come next. (5)

When Tunisian fruit vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire on that fated day in December 2010, he sparked this movement. But he also set in motion a series of events that would include a second generation of protests in 2019 and that continue to change the region and its people even today. (3)
