Find The Gandhi Within
The tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas (MSD) High School in Parkland, Florida, an affluent suburb, was a stark reminder that violence in America is not limited to certain neighborhoods but can happen anytime, anywhere. The activism of the students that followed was humbling. The overwhelming support from across the country for their call to action #March4OurLives was soulful. It was a signal for us adults to come together, transcend our differences and take steps to stop the senseless violence and promote compassion and nonviolence.
If The Corona Virus Could Speak…
A few years ago, I had a key moment of truth – that I would not do anything about any social issue e.g. the mass shootings in US schools, unless and until it directly affected me or happened in my neighborhood school. I was so profoundly disturbed by this realization that I ended up making a documentary film that is now being used to promote nonviolence education in classrooms. The calling was intense and the experience, transformational.
