SUMMARY:Nigeria - US Relations: A Strategic Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Nigeria is often thought of as a bellwether for the continent of Africa. Its population is the largest on the continent\, a demographic that has approximately 70 % of its population below the age of 30. Blessed with many natural resources\, it is the largest oil and gas producer in Africa. With a diverse population numbering over 250 ethnic groups\, it strives to meet the challenges of economic growth and guaranteed democratic principles. \nAt this event\, the Nigerian Ambassador to the U.S.\, Dr. (Mrs.) Uzoma Emenike will speak about the Strategic Partnership between Nigeria and the U.S. as well as the many investment opportunities available. \nAbout the Speaker\nH.E Dr. (Mrs.) Uzoma Emenike was Nigeria’s Ambassador to Ireland with concurrent accreditation to Iceland\, between the 30th of August 2017 and the 17th of May 2021. \nFollowing her historic appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s first female Ambassador to the United States of America\, Ambassador Emenike arrived in Washington DC on the 18th of May 2021 to assume duty. \nDr. Emenike joined the Nigerian Foreign Service in January 1987. She served variously in the Protocol\, Africa\, and Training departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For six years\, between 1992 and 1998\, she was posted to the Nigerian Embassy in Abidjan\, Côte D’Ivoire. Upon her return to headquarters in Nigeria in 1998\, she was variously deployed to other departments of the Ministry\, during which she represented Nigeria in numerous bilateral and multilateral missions\, both at home and abroad. \nIn 2002\, Dr. Emenike voluntarily left the Foreign Service for the private sector where\, amongst others\, she worked as a Management Consultant. \nAmbassador Emenike has two Bachelor’s degrees\, three Master’s Degrees\, and a Doctorate Degree. She earned a B.Sc. Sociology and Anthropology from the University of Maiduguri\, Nigeria\, and an LL.B from the University of Reading in the U.K. She also holds a postgraduate diploma in Diplomacy from the Nigerian Foreign Service Academy as well as a Master’s degree in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos\, Nigeria. Dr. Emenike subsequently earned another Master’s in International Management from the University of Reading in the U.K. She capped her academic pursuit with a Doctorate degree in International Relations\, also from the University of Reading in the U.K. \nHer major areas of interest remain Africa and her people. Among her published articles are: “The AFRICA We Envisage in 50 Years’ Time” and “Europe Needs Africa”. She is also the author of the book — “Africa: The Centre-Piece of Nigeria’s Foreign Policy.” \nAmbassador Emenike is a quiet philanthropist. She has\, through her family’s Emenike Foundation\, empowered numerous women and youths. Many citizens have benefitted from her scholarship scheme for brilliant but indigent youngsters while scores of women\, particularly widows and the elderly\, continue to enjoy her support in varied forms. \nHappily married to Chief Ikechi Emenike\, the couple is blessed with four wonderful children. \nSaftety and Cancellation Policy\nFor your safety and the safety of others\, ACIR requests that only fully vaccinated people or those immune from a previous COVID Infection attend. \nCancellation Policy: If you need to cancel\, please do so no later than 48 hours before the event.

SUMMARY:Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month: "First To Go" Film Screening & Director Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Japan-America Society of Georgia celebrates Asian-American Heritage Month through a screening of the short film\, First to Go: Story of the Kataoka Family\, a story of a young girl’s father who was forced from his home and family in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was first and 120\,000 Americans were next to be forced to relocate to desolate Internment Camps throughout the country. Join us after the 20-minute screening for a behind-the-scenes talk with Director & Producer\, Myles Matsuno\, and discover how we can find hope\, love\, and happiness in the darkest of places and explore how cultural understanding can lead to new ways of promoting peace & harmony in your life. \nFilm: First to Go: Story of the Kataoka Family \nLength: 21 min \nLogline: One December morning in San Francisco\, a young girl’s father was forced from his home and family. He was first and 120\,000 Americans were next. This is her story. \nSynopsis: A couple hours after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941\, Ichiro Kataoka was the first San Francisco Japanese prisoner taken by the FBI from his hotel in Japan Town. Through a series of unfortunate events\, Ichiro would eventually reunite with his family three years later in Topaz\, Utah after President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066\, which forced all Japanese residing on the West Coast to relocate to desolate Internment Camps throughout the country. Their only crime was being of Japanese ancestry.  \nDecades later\, though a collection of footage\, the Kataoka family legacy is being told through Ichiro’s daughter\, great grandson\, and relatives of what this family had endured. Although this was a dark time in America’s history\, we find that love and happiness can blossom in the darkest of places. \nDirected & Produced: Myles Matsuno \nWebsite & Trailer: www.mylesmatsuno.com/first-to-go-story-of-the-kataoka-family

Each event can be signed up for individually and they hope to see you for one or all three! \nProgramming\nThursday\, July 7 | Swiss Winemaker Tasting with Chandra Kurt\n6:00 PM at Perrine’s Le Pop Up \n\n16 seats available at $60/ticket – Purchase your ticket for the Swiss Winemaker Tasting with Chandra Kurt here.\nTaste through 5 Swiss wines with a presentation led by Chandra Kurt (author\, scientist\, winemaker + critic)\nA selection of cheeses and accompaniments available for pairing\nFree to join via zoom link as well (RSVP via email here)\n\nSpeaker Bio: \nChandra Kurt\nAuthor\, scientist\, winemaker and critic \nBased in Zürich\, Chandra Kurt is Switzerland’s foremost wine writer\, educator\, and critic. She has authored more than 20 books on wine\, including Chasselas – from Féchy to Dézaley – A journey to discover the treasures of the Vaud vineyards and the annual guide Weinseller\, along with her wine magazine Weinseller Journal. She studied at the Universities of Zürich and Lausanne and the Institute of Masters of Wine in London. Putting her experience to practice and following her passion for Switzerland’s indigenous varieties\, she has launched her own line of wines from vineyards in Geneva\, Vaud\, and the Valais. Rather than a purely commercial exercise\, her wines are an extension of her desire to understand the interaction of terroir and variety and to make wines that are not only a pleasure to drink but reveal something unique and special about the wine styles of her home. \nHer collection of wines includes a fresh and vibrantly youthful Chasselas from Geneva aptly named Glou Glou Chasselas\, a range of Chasselas from the distinct terroirs of the Vaud\, and a selection of indigenous varieties and wine styles from the Valais. She assembles each project first by understanding the vineyards\, then guiding the winemaking to be as minimalist as possible. Thus\, what is in the bottle is a pure reflection place and variety. While this may seem overly academic\, it is a great way to begin to understand that the complexity of Swiss wines is truly worth exploring. \n  \nSaturday\, July 9 | Swiss 5k and Fun Run with On Running\n8:00 AM at Fleet Feet-Decatur\n\nFree Event – Break a sweat and demo the best Swiss running shoes in the business – Google Forms RSVP here\nOn Running will be on site with shoes\, gear and local rep Natalie Richardson\nPost run Swiss Slushies and snacks will be served\n\nSunday\, July 10 | Swiss Wine Soirée\n3 PM – 7 PM at Bold Monk Brewing Co.\n\n$40 ticket includes your first glass of Swiss wine\, Swiss inspired small bites\, live Jazz and more – purchase tickets here\nConsul General of Switzerland in Atlanta Peter Zimmerli will give opening remarks\n10 Swiss wines available to try by the glass and by the bottle\nPartners include – Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta\, Alliance Francaise of Atlanta\, Geothe-Zentrum Atlanta\, Swiss American Society of Atlanta\, On Running\, Perrine’s Wine Shop\, Fleet Feet Decatur and Avant Partir\n\nSpeaker bio: \nPeter Zimmerli\nConsul General\nConsulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta \nBorn in 1957 in Switzerland\, Peter Zimmerli grew up in the canton of Aargau.
