June Kjome Susan T Hessel

June Kjome has spent her life as an activist - first in Africa and later back in the United States on issues related to hunger, peace, housing, medical care, marriage equality and more. She is so beloved in her home community that a party was thrown for her when she turned 85 called June Kjome Day. Now at age 95, she cannot protest as much as she once did or advocate for causes important to her, but she still has a lot to say about aging well. We all want to be like June when we grow up.
