In a world that can feel divided, we want to bring people together – to learn, to listen with our hearts, and to begin to see each other again.
Our vision is to foster and elevate respect and learning while we talk about the real issues of the day. Join hosts Stephanie Colegrove and Alpheaus Johnson as we invite people in to share their stories and their vision. Together we’ll get inspired to take action as we create a movement of change…one conversation at a time.
