Hear how Rabya has found her path and how we connected through our life experiences with mixed heritage and identities.

Gail is the ultimate example of no matter what you’re going through, there is a way through, having taken her past success and life in performing arts, her heartaches through personal grief and trauma and forged a path right back to where her heart and whisperings began as a child; being curious about faith and supporting the community with her gifts. Gail’s joy and wonder is infectious, her voice and manner soothe and inspire all at once and I was thrilled she was able to share some of her story with me. Hear how Gail found her path home, as we delved in the nature of being human and how much is all before us, if only we could simply see it and hear it.
