An enjoyable evening with @EUintheUS colleagues at the @CarterCenter honoring President Carter and his amazing legacy as we also celebrated the power of literature. I was proud to contribute Eavan Boland’s Outside History, giving voice to those left on the margins of history.

A moving visit to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park and historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. Standing in a place so central to the civil rights movement was a powerful promise of the enduring global importance of dignity, equality, and justice.
Honored to welcome Irish Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason to Georgia as part of an EU-led delegation for political & economic engagements.

No better way to kick off my visit to Georgia than at the Metro @atlchamber’s breakfast, discussing how the EU and Atlanta are working together to drive innovation, investment, and opportunity on both sides of the Atlantic.

I may be tardy for the party, but I finally made it to Atlanta for my first visit to Georgia as Ambassador—and I'm bringing along my castmates (fellow EU ambassadors). Looking forward to seeing for myself why so many Europeans and EU businesses have fallen for the Peach State.
