Welcome back to my conversation with Asma — therapist, activist, mother, and so much more. We get into some psychology as we talk about cognitive dissonance and grief, and Asma shares her thoughts on how we can appropriately involve and inform our children.  

Asma expresses how meaningful and impactful it is that someone like me (not Palestinian, Arab, or Muslim) is invested in a free Palestine. She sees hope in all of us that care, and that makes me dare to hope that together, we will all find liberation. Join us, use your privilege, step up, and speak up.
