Happy 2️⃣1️⃣ to my amazing, not-so-little sis @_annamurphy_ 🍾🍾

Get you a squad that can do both 🎃⚾ . . . . . #halloween #spookyszn #feelthebern #halloweencostumes #nats #worldseries #finishthefight #champs #dc #sportscity #washingtondc #nationals #squadgoals

#tbt rubbing elbows with the Clooneys + celebrating the first annual #asilgala @ the Frick Museum in NYC. Wasn't bold/important enough to get a posed pic with the guests of honor, but did sneak into a few candids (pics 2&3). // The past few months have been a whirlwind, as such, I'm just now revisiting a night that was truly singular. As some know, my dad presides over a nonprofit called the American Society of International Law. Nearing the end of his term, he went big, organizing their first ever fundraising gala and presenting the Champions of International Law award to none other than Amal Clooney. // An accomplished international lawyer, Amal's achievements have only augmented through her and her husband's work at the Clooney Foundation. As family to the ASIL President, we were lucky enough to talk with the power couple over drinks prior to the event. // Starry eyed, I asked George about a recent win from the Foundation's portfolio. He shared about his efforts successfully bashing heads (of state) in Southeast Asia to curtail shell companies being used as vehicles to fund trafficking in the region. He spoke of bringing corporations to the table for complicity, cross-sectoral partnerships, and leveraging technology to track dirty money. // As he went on, all I could do was nod, sip my g&t, and act like this wasn't the coolest thing. Amidst stories, in a moment that felt completely raw, he looked me in the eye and told me how much fun he's having tearing down the global human trafficking apparatus. As a group gathered, he and Amal showed us pics of the twins from George's phone. Before long they were tapped for some posed shots, during which George said, while flashing his silver-screen smile "this is a great Frickin' museum" (a play on the venue 😅) // Surreality aside, the real star of the night was none other than Papa Murph himself. As one young, budding international lawyer in attendance said, "your dad is a real rockstar in our field". He sure is. That evening felt like a culmination, years of consistent excellence and justice pursuit all coming together (do you see the way Amal is looking at him?? Seriously??). Endlessly proud of you, pops.

Today I turn 28 (yikes!) - and candidly, I could use your help. // Over the past 14 years, I have spent several months in total living and working in poor farming communities of Honduras. My love for the country has only only grown, as has my appreciation for the work we do at Sustainable Villages Honduras (SVH). // SVH is a US-based nonprofit that employs a small team doing big work on the ground in Honduras. Our agronomists work with community leaders, other NGO's, and local government, to create more sustainable food systems, enable access to water, improve family health, and more. // Ultimately, we are working to move the needle on two of our world's most pressing challenges: the migrant crisis, and climate change. // Here is where I need your help - this work only happens because of the generosity of people like YOU. We've come so far, but have greater ambitions to help more families and more communities this year. Instead of buying me a beer, will you join me and be a changemaker for Honduras? Any amount you can invest will go far, and will mean the world to me. // Learn more - link in bio 🇭🇳🌎. . . . . . #honduras #charity #nonprofit #fundraiser #birthday #svh #catrachos #latina #america #dogooder #networkforgood #sustainable #villages #honduras🇭🇳 #foodsystems #locallysourced #progressive #climatechange #farming #poverty #philanthropy #childrenoftheworld #niños
