I believe there's a common good in everyone, and that traveling, stepping out of your comfort zone, and making new friends is a powerful way to open your eyes and deepen your understanding.

Grew up in Texas, studied music in Boston, lived in New York and L.A., and spent a good amount of time on the road.

"...For the truth is, I think that we are always plural. Not either this or that but this and that. And we always embody in our multiple shifting consciousnesses a convergence of traditions, cultures, histories coming together in this time and this place and moving like rivers through us. And I know now that the point is to look back with insight and without judgment, and I know now that it is of the nature of being in this place… that there will always be new ways to understand what we are living through, and that I will never come to a point of rest or of finality in my understanding." -Leila Ahmed

"We were made to enjoy music, to enjoy beautiful sunsets, to enjoy looking at the billows of the sea and to be thrilled with a rose that is bedecked with dew… Human beings are actually created for the transcendent, for the sublime, for the beautiful, for the truthful... and all of us are given the task of trying to make this world a little more hospitable to these beautiful things." -Desmond Tutu
