Can you pinpoint a moment in time when your life changed? Maybe it wasn’t a moment, maybe it was a complicated chain of events that led you to where you are today. Or maybe, it was a generational impact that started before you were even born. Regardless of what it contains, all humans have a story. And those stories are the building blocks of who we are, at our very core. Join host, Jennifer Peterkin - lover and collector of stories, as she interviews humans from all walks of life. Tune in every week to hear stories of love and loss, triumph and defeat, and all that exist in between.

There are so many opportunities for U.S. citizens to welcome refugees to the United States; to help them begin to build a home, and to break barriers that are forged by misinformation and ignorance.
Check out one of these organizations for more information (all U.S. based):
