Beautiful Story Time

I fell in love with PBS platform for ‘Stories from the Stage’ for the past 2/3 years on TV. It’s truly amazing to learn so much from others I never had the opportunity for myself in life! I’m now experiencing a community full of amazing people learning from their lives through the lens of my journey. We are not so different after all! Humankind! 🙂Podcast is an amazing tool to bridge the gaps! 💜
