“From Hinduism to the monotheisms through to Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, the common message is that we are all, naturally and potentially, inclined to reject the other, and to be intolerant and racist. Left to our own devices and our own emotions, we can be deaf, blind, dogmatic, closed and xenophobic: we are not born open-minded, respectful and pluralist. We become so through personal effort, education, self-mastery and knowledge.” 
― Tariq Ramadan

3 Questions

When I meet a new person, I am interested in learning about their struggles. I believe these 3 questions reveal a lot about a person, their struggles, their resilience, their attitude towards life, their strength to carry on and move mountains. If they are willing to share their struggles with me I know they are proud of something. Whether it's their ability to identify, acknowledge or overcome, there is something they are proud of. When someone's eyes light up I know I have a story that will teach me something extremely remarkable and valuable and that means a world to me.

Identify the ones who truly love you

What was your most challenging struggle?

When I was 15, my parents went through a painful divorce. I couldn't understand it or make sense of it. I was very angry at them. At myself. I felt I didn't have anyone to belong. My younger siblings were ten years younger than me so I felt I had to take care of them on top of everything else I was dealing with. It was hard. Very hard. I turned into a rebel. Though, they were trying to be supportive I didn't believe them. 


How did you cope with it?

I didn't know how to cope with it. I turned into a rebel. I said and did things to hurt them. I am not proud of it. 


Knowing what you know now, what would you tell someone who is going through a similar situation?

Identify the people who truly love you and support you and accept them as they are. I wish I had done that sooner. It's not easy when you are going through the struggle but people who truly love you and care for you will consistently show up.

    “You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.”
