We are not just part of Mesopotamia’s history. We are its Indigenous people, and we are still here.

For thousands of years, the Assyrian-Chaldean-Syriac people have called this land home. Despite persecution, displacement, and generations of struggle, our roots remain.

Our homeland is not just our past. It is our identity, our responsibility, and our future.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor our ancestors by continuing the fight to ensure future generations can live, work, and thrive in the land of their ancestors.

We belong. We remain. We endure.

With Deepest Sympathy and Gratitude 🤍

The She Leads Assyria family mourns the loss of June Ishtar Jako, a truly remarkable woman whose life was devoted to her family, and her people.

For many years, June dedicated herself to serving the Assyrian community through her work with the Assyrian Aid Society, giving her time, energy, and heart to helping others and strengthening our community. Her commitment to our people was not simply something she spoke about, it was something she lived.

June was also a wonderful supporter of She Leads Assyria. She believed in our vision, encouraged our ideas, supported our projects, and worked alongside us on grant applications and initiatives that sought to create new opportunities for our people. Her encouragement meant more to us than she may have ever known.

She was a proud Assyrian woman who understood the importance of investing in our people and building a stronger future for the generations that follow. We are deeply honored that we had the opportunity to know her, work with her, and experience her kindness and unwavering support.

Her years of service, her generosity, and her love for our people are a legacy that will continue to inspire us. We will carry her memory with us in the work we do and remain grateful for the mark she left on our community.

Our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

May her memory be eternal. 🤍

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.

These young men and women are graduates of She Leads Assyria's Remote Workforce Development Program, based in the Nineveh Plains.

They've built the skills. They're motivated. They're ready to work.

Now they need what every talented professional deserves: an opportunity.

We're looking to connect with businesses and organizations interested in hiring skilled remote talent and creating meaningful economic opportunities.

Watch their stories. If you'd like to partner with us or explore hiring opportunities, let's connect.

What We’ve Been Up To:

Over the past several weeks, She Leads Assyria has continued working both here in Illinois and in the homeland to advocate for stronger communities and greater opportunity for our people.

Recently, we traveled to Springfield to continue important conversations with state leaders and advocates. A special thank you to Vote Assyrian for their continued work ensuring our community’s voice is heard and represented here in Illinois.

On May 8th, we also had the honor of meeting with Governor Abdul Qader Al-Dakhil of Mosul عبدالقادر الدخيل at Shenandoah Country Club to discuss the future of the Nineveh Plains, economic opportunity, and ways to support long-term stability for communities in Iraq.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Chaldean Community Foundation and Robert DeKelaita for helping make this important meeting possible and for their continued advocacy for our people here and in the homeland.

At She Leads Assyria, we believe advocacy must happen both here and abroad. From Illinois to Iraq, we remain committed to building partnerships that create real opportunities for families to remain, work, and thrive in their communities.

Today, we celebrate the strength, love, and sacrifice of Assyrian-Chaldean-Syriac mothers across the world.

For generations, our mothers have carried more than families- they carried a nation through genocide, displacement, migration, and survival. Through every hardship, they kept our language alive in our homes, our traditions alive in our hearts, and our identity alive for future generations.

As indigenous women of Mesopotamia, your resilience has protected a people, a culture, and a history that refused to disappear.

To every mother raising children with love, faith, and pride in who they are- we honor you today and every day.

Happy Mother’s Day from She Leads Assyria. 🤍

As we welcome a new year, we carry both pride and pain.

This year feels different.
For many of us, celebrating in our homeland is not what it once was, but we are still here.

Our people continue to endure, remain rooted, and rebuild what is ours.

This is not only a celebration of our history, but a reminder of our responsibility to shape what comes next.

From the Nineveh Plains to the diaspora, we move forward together with purpose, strength, and hope.

Wishing everyone a prosperous and peaceful new year.

International Women’s Day

Today, we celebrate women everywhere- their strength, their resilience, and the countless ways they shape the world around us.

But today we also send a special message to the Assyrian woman, who has carried the weight of our nation through some of its darkest moments.

Our history is filled with tattered dreams, forced displacement, and the constant question of where and how we will raise our children in safety. Sadly, even today, many Assyrian women once again find themselves facing the same painful uncertainties, while the world often remains silent to our suffering.

From the time of our ancient kingdoms to the years of genocide, displacement, and survival, Assyrian women have been the quiet strength behind our nation. They carried our language, our faith, and our identity through every storm.

And today, they continue to stand strong- fighting like lions to protect the next generation, because we understand what is at stake.

For many of us, this moment feels like our last chance to keep our people rooted in our homeland and our nation alive.

So today we honor the courage of Assyrian women- past, present, and future.

Your strength has carried a nation.
And it will continue to shape its future.
