“It is time to be...very brave. Brave enough to speak with people we fear, to face the nuances of our bias, to recognize the frailty of humanity, and to forgive.”
~ Eitan Hersh
In our current landscape, Americans from all walks of life are navigating a sea of concerns, with inflation, healthcare affordability, and mental health at the forefront of our collective consciousness.
