gave me a PhD. I gave Columbia its first Congolese woman PhD in Chemical Engineering. I’d call that a fair trade. 🇨🇩🎓

Some days, I’m still surprised this story is mine.

On World Refugee Day(June 20th), I’m especially reflecting on the journey that brought me here. Ten years ago, the UN () resettled my family in the United States after we fled conflict in eastern Congo and xenophobia in South Africa.

Today, I’m Dr. Daniela Bushiri, PhD. The first doctor in my family at 27. Incredible what can change in 10 years.

And if you make it to the last slide, you’ll see who I dedicated this PhD to in my thesis❤️
