Last week, I celebrated the launch of my latest book, “Africa, You Have a Friend in Washington: An American Diplomat's Adventures in Sub-Saharan Africa”. The book, published earlier this month, is a memoir chronicling my years spent in the Foreign Service and my experiences with some of Africa's most iconic leaders. Thank you to DACOR and the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training for hosting us. I would also like to express my thanks to all who were able to attend. I was honored by your presence and support at the event.
