Before we can hope to heal our world, we must first learn to see it how it actually is. By listening to understand, we cultivate our curiosity while surfacing the motivations and views that underlie the issues that divide us. But what does this look like in practice?
Over the next few weeks, we’re focusing our Learning Corps series on individuals and organizations who recognize that my story is not the only story, and model how holding perspectives in tension allows us to engage the views and experiences of others, even and especially when they do not reconcile with our own.
Our guest this week is Sami DiPasquale. Sami is the Founder and Director of Abara, a nonprofit based in El Paso, Texas serving both sides of the US-Mexico border. In our conversation, Sami shares about Abara's work inspiring connections beyond borders through mutual understanding, education, and meaningful action.
