Brought together through the
most serendipitous of events to
spend a night talking about the
collision of worlds —
violence, injustice, rights,
and all the isms.
The true power of humility
and service and never, ever,
giving up.
The raw conviction that
being human in all of its
beauty means daring
to raise a voice,
to live your life out loud
and that hope for tomorrow
starts with
risky conversations.
