My, my, that was a lot of news! We are so grateful that you want to work with us to promote tolerance, acceptance and community, and what better way to do that than by sharing our personal stories? Once you've heard someone's story, you're not strangers any more; in our stories we see and hear and recognize our shared humanity. Hope to see you soon!
May The Narrative Be With You!®
