What Do Our Ancestors Demand? (Guest Natalie Samarjian)

Made of Armenians

Imagine being born to the sound of an unruly civil war.  Natalie and her mother, a survivor of abuse, found refuge in America in 1989. Our conversation digs into Natalie's roots and how they led her to a career in law and leadership, where she is now one of California's most revered people in impact and heritage as the CEO of CORO. Against all odds, her story is one of survivorship, service, culture, and redemption through relentless love is truly tear-invoking. 

"All of this wasn't promised... Our ancestors demand that we live in joy."
