Freedom in diversity
Even though I have traveled the world and been exposed to many cultures, I still learn something new every time I listen! I enjoy the conversational tone and hearing how the guests struggle and often succeed navigating confusing cultural norms. Each week brings new perspective to me as I hear from the younger generation about how they figure complex situations that cultural diversity inevitably brings!
