What draws us to the heart of a city like New York? In this reflective episode, our guest shares how growing up in a place with no diversity sparked a lifelong longing for connection, culture, and community. New York City, with its vibrant mix of people and stories, became a symbol of everything they yearned for—humanity in its most colorful and authentic form. Now, as a parent, they’re determined to pass that love on to their children, showing them the beauty of different backgrounds, perspectives, and lives. This episode is a tribute to urban richness, cultural appreciation, and raising the next generation to see people for who they are—not where they come from.
