Tekle Mezgebe - Casa Marianella
Tekle is a television personality and human rights activist from Eritrea in East Africa. He made his way around the world to the US border in 2019. When he asked for asylum he was put in a detention center in South Texas for 10 months. He initially lost his case, but won on appeal. He was released to Casa Marianella, where he got his papers in order and got a job and an apartment. He has just been elected to the board of directors of Casa Marianella.
