Nazshonnii Brown-Almaweri named Davis Peace Prize winner

2017 Apr 11

Nazshonnii Brown-Almaweri, of Oakland, CA, was named an honoree for the Kathryn Wasserman Davis Projects for Peace award.

The award's objective is to encourage and support today's motivated youth to create and try out their ideas for building peace. Each project is funded with a $10,000 grant.

Brown-Almaweri has designed a four-week afterschool program where students ages 11-18 will learn about healthy eating habits, positive body image, Mother Earth and living traditions. She hopes to help the Dine students ("Di Nay," the name for the Navajo people) progress from a history of surviving to a future of thriving.
