Somia Sadiq is a peacebuilder and entrepreneur focused on Conflict Transformation. Our conversation was so wide-ranging I thought it would be worth a brief rundown of what we covered:

- Resilience and Fasting

- Definitions: Settler and Newcomer

- Identity politics

- Ancestral guilt and shame

- How to approach history (and history of oppression) without guilt

- The role of public apologies

- The limits of apologies

- The necessary components of an apology

- intentionality

- acceptance of harm

- remorse

- how it impacted you

- Description of traditional mediation in Punjab (from her grandparents' house)

- Highlights from William Ury's The Third Side: Community as the Conflict Management System

- What makes something feel fair?

- Is taking sides ethical?

- How do global conflicts affect our individual experience?

- What do people mean by "trauma-informed"?

- The Mice and the Cherry Blossoms Experiment

- Trauma vs Agency and Free Will

While it was a stellar interview, I have to say my favorite moment was her story at the end. Listen for it.
