- Sekyiwa, who runs the Tupac Shakur Foundation, unveiled a peace pole in Pen Lucy, which the foundation plants in communities to promote resolution instead of violence.
- Marking her first visit to Baltimore in 40 years, Sekyiwa committed to supporting local youth, pledging her foundation will work with organizations to follow students from kindergarten through college.
