The Real
Ewelina Connolly Record
CEO of Soros Funded Group
- Serves as the CEO of Amani Family Services in Fort Wayne.
- Truth is Amani Family Services acts as a local chapter for Welcoming America.
Amani Family Services operates as a local chapter for Welcoming America, a national network funded by Soros.
Welcoming America received nearly $2 Million in grants from the Soros Open Society Foundations. Welcoming America is a funder of Amani and sets the "welcoming standard" Amani and Connolly seek for Allen County.
The American Immigration Council also received nearly $2 Million in grants from the Soros Open Society Foundations. The American Immigration Council is a funder of Amani and partners with Welcoming America to finance Gateways for Growth, an initiative championed by Connolly and Amani to make Allen County more inclusive.
"Welcoming” begins as an attitude and an intention to invite newcomers into local communities, but it takes sustainable collective effort to ensure that such attitudes and intentions develop into actions, policies, and networks that make welcoming possible at the community level. To that end, Amani has embarked on a yearlong project to organize a committee of local champions and stakeholders across industries to identify current challenges and barriers our immigrant community faces and develop a welcoming plan based on a nationally recognized blueprint. – The Welcoming Standard" - Ewelina Connolly

Woke D.E.I. Agenda
Amani runs cultural competency training rooted in a CRT-like principals that instructs staff to acknowledge their "racist, sexist, heterosexist, or other detrimental attitudes" and redefines clinicians as "consultant, change agent, teacher, and advocate." Amani has brought these trainings into public schools in East Allen County School District and local law enforcement agencies.”
