Elly’s Takeaways.
“Shattering stereotypes allows us to connect across divides and connection is vital for creating a meaningful life. When we take the time to look deeper than the exterior of our fellow man (or woman), the stories of success, failure, joy, and suffering live. Then we are able to connect on a deep human level. Going beyond tolerance to embracing humanity. That is where personal and global healing resides.”
Tune in to hear Elly’s story and how she is making a difference for so many people!
