Representing America abroad has been the greatest honor. 🇺🇸❤️
As I reach the end of my tenure as the U.S. Ambassador to @UNESCO, I was deeply touched by the flag ceremony with the U.S. Marines who serve at the Trilateral Mission in Paris. Today and every day, I am grateful for their service and dedication to our country. 🇺🇸 🇺🇳 #Gratitude #PublicService @WhiteHouse @POTUS @SecBlinken

At any given time around the world there are @StateDept professionals who are on assignment without their loved ones. They sacrifice time with those they care about, even over the holidays, to do the necessary work of diplomacy. We are so grateful to them and their families for their service.

Olena Zelenska is a mother. Protector. The pride of her nation. A beacon of hope for the people she loves. It was my honor to reflect on her selfless courage for @TIME.
“Olena Zelenska (@ZelenskaUA) didn’t expect to become a warrior for the people of Ukraine, but she has answered this call with selfless courage,” writes Jill Biden #TIME100 ti.me/41qQdX2

A favorite line from @POTUS sermon at Ebenezer Baptist is one we can all relate to: “We’re all imperfect beings. We don’t know where and what fate will deliver to us and when. But we can do our best to seek a life of light and hope and love and yes, truth.”
