Who are we really? I mean, who are we beyond our labels of Black, White, Fat, Thin, Young, Old, Rich, Poor? What is our story beyond that? I believe everyone has got a bit of wisdom in them. In this podcast, I will have fun and fascinating conversations with citizens from around the globe, who travel in various paths of life. We will listen to their stories, learn, laugh and love. My hope is that their stories will feel a lot like our stories, and we may perhaps recognize a lot of us in them.
