“The true narrative of America... is that we are this extraordinary experiment in a pluralist democracy. We're this extraordinary experiment of a nation coming together across differences of race, religion, creed, ethnicity, any identifier you might want to label…a nation that came together around a belief in human dignity, in freedom, in self-determination.” -Nazanin Ash, CEO of https://hubs.li/Q041MLsM0

We’re relistening to EP7 of [tag]The Solve Effect with Nazanin, finding inspiration in her words and the mission of https://hubs.li/Q041MLsM0— rooted in the belief that Americans are at their best when helping their neighbors.

Listen (or re-listen) to the conversation wherever you get your podcasts. And help/support/love your neighbors.

Nazanin is the Chief Executive Officer of https://hubs.ly/Q03WHJZy0, a national initiative that helps Americans welcome people seeking refuge.

Thank you, Nazanin, for sharing your work and the WHY behind it.
