How can we have effective conversations with people with whom we disagree?
In this episode of the Conversationalist podcast, TC Founder and CEO Sophie Beren sits down with Zahier Turner, a college student and activist who is passionate about having conversations that break open his echo chamber. Zahier opens up about his journey as a Black conservative and the struggles he experienced moving from one end of the political spectrum to another. His journey offers an important reminder that it’s important to normalize changing our opinions as we explore different ideologies and how we should all do our best to listen and be open to multiple points of view.

He’s a natural-born creative with a passion for art in almost any form, including drawing, acting, singing, fashion, screenwriting, and more.
