MARI aka DJ STILETTO - EVENT CURATOR , DJ, MODEL & FOUNDER OF @StandForEducation & @WauBrands


“As someone who has personally lived through the challenges and traumas that refugees and immigrants face, I want their voices to be heard, their stories to be told." -Mari


Mari was born in Wau, a village near the Nile River in South Sudan. Her childhood was destroyed by the country’s second civil war that lasted from 1983 to 2005. Her family had to flee their home, taking only what they could carry. But they were among the lucky ones. There were mass killings, widespread famine; over a million people died in this conflict.

For the next 2 decades Mari was a refugee, living stateless in shared homes, run-down apartments, often on the move, scared & never certain if the next destination would be safe.

Her own personal journey from South Sudan to Egypt to the United States is the story of so many global children who are forced to flee their country because of war, violence, persecution and economic hardships. It heightened her awareness and sensitivity to the shared suffering of others. It also deepened her commitment to provide the support and opportunities for immigrants and refugees to develop to their fullest potential. And the key to this, as it was for herself, is education.
