Tips: Saru Jayaraman (Ep. 23)
“Building unity across divide is possible. Building something even better than we had before, out of terrible tragedy, is possible.

Because it’s the moment in which we are going to demand absolute transformation, and I have every faith and hope that we will do that now.”-Saru Jayaraman
