CGTN's Poppie Mphuthing on personal keyword for 2025

CGTN reporter Poppie Mphuthing highlights 2025 as a year defined by resilience. Amid the joy of welcoming her first child, she faced the profound loss of her father shortly after. Professionally, she covered the Strolling Thunder march in Washington, D.C., where parents from all 50 states and the capital called on U.S. policymakers to prioritize early childhood programs, including Medicaid, SNAP, childcare investments, maternal and infant health, paid leave, and economic security of families. Her experiences highlight both the challenges and hopes of parenthood, as well as the strength gained from navigating life's personal and professional highs and lows.
