– TONYA ALLEN, MADAXWEYNE
Si xamaasad leh, waxaanu wadaagnaa warka ah in Erin Imon Gavin uu yahay madaxa cusub ee shaqaalaha McKnight. Erin waxa uu la wareegay doorka Oktoobar 6 ka dib markii uu si guul leh u wareejiyay hogaanka Isbahaysiga GroundBreak ilaa Maamulaha Guud Adair Mosley.
In ka badan 12 sano, Erin waxa uu door muhiim ah ka ciyaaray McKnight, isagoo haya jagooyin hoggaamineed guud ahaan ganacsiga iyo kooxaha barnaamijka, oo ay ku jirto markii ugu dambeysay ee agaasimaha waxqabadyada istaraatiijiyadeed ee Xafiiska Madaxweynaha iyo ku-simaha agaasimaha mashruuca Isbaheysiga GroundBreak. Awood kasta, Erin waxa ay keentay fikir istiraatijiyadeed oo fiiqan, karti ay ku dhaqaajiso hindiseyaal adag oo ay ku jirto garasho iyo daryeel, iyo qaab iskaashi oo abuura kalsoonida iyo dardargelinta shaqaalahayaga iyo la-hawlgalayaashayada.
"Aqoonta qoto dheer ee Erin ee McKnight, maskaxdeeda istaraatiijiyadeed, iyo kartideeda la xaqiijiyay ee ay ku hogaaminayso hindisayaasha hamiga leh ayaa ka dhigaya meel gaar ah oo ay ku sareyn karto madaxa shaqaalaha cusub," ayay tiri Tonya Allen, madaxweynaha McKnight.

"Horumarinta isbeddelka togan iyada oo loo marayo kakanaanta waxay u baahan tahay degdeg, caddayn, iyo wadashaqeyn sare," Tonya Allen ayaa tiri. "Erin wuxuu door muhiim ah ka ciyaari doonaa caawinta wadarta inay ka weynaato qaybteeda marka aan raadineyno cadaalad, hal abuur, iyo mustaqbal badan oo dadka iyo meeraha."
