Israel and Palestine.

Northern Ireland.

Colombia.

Libya.

These are more than just countries to Donna Hicks. Notorious for their political upheaval and turmoil, within their borders, Donna has sat between sworn enemies and dared to help them find common ground. Wherever there is an "intractable conflict" in the world, Donna and her team work diligently to facilitate dialogue between the disparate parties and find ways for them to work together. It's far from easy, but over the past 25 years, Donna has noticed a pattern emerge, helping her achieve better results with each conversation.

I can't wait for you to hear one of Donna's favorite stories from her time in Libya. It gives me hope that even when things look dark - when we choose to respect the dignity of others and connect with each other there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel.
