Every person has a rich story of paradox, and we don’t always get the privilege of hearing someone else’s story. Buffy tells stories of masks, the kindness of strangers, and feeling “pale at the pool,” all in service to the lesson of how empathy and building bridges can support more connection and kindness.

In this episode, Buffy references Lisa Foote. The poem she reads is "Once the World Was Perfect" by Joy Harjo.
