Episode Summary: In this moving episode, Teena Dare is joined by Clint Leavitt and Bikonzi Moise to explore the redemptive power of story and relationship. Bikonzi shares his family’s miraculous journey from the Congo, surviving a concentration camp, and ultimately resettling in the United States. Together with Clint, who co-authored a book about Bikonzi’s life, they discuss the importance of telling stories that humanize and connect us, especially in a world often divided by single narratives and stereotypes. Bikonzi also describes some of the people in the US who loved him and his family in transformational ways simply by seeing through the barriers to the wonderful gift they were.
