## Resource

Guyana just threw its hat into the ring for the UN Secretary-General spot, nominating Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett — a seasoned diplomat with deep roots in Guyanese politics and global institutions. Set to hold an informal chat with UN member states on June 18th, she’s poised to become not only the first woman ever to lead the UN since its founding in 1945, but also the first Caribbean leader to hold the top job. With a career spanning foreign affairs, climate diplomacy, and multilateral leadership, she’s seen as the perfect blend of experience and vision to tackle today’s global crises — from war to climate change. If elected, she’d rewrite history — and Guyana’s global influence would soar. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
