Storytelling is an innate human instinct. Stories help connect us; bring us to the past; allow us to learn; help shape us; and help us heal. Storytelling crosses all cultures; it is what makes us human. This week on “Pieces of Us” I talk with Majd Al Zhouri, who is a Syrian refugee; he discusses what his life was like in Syria, how he left this war-torn country, the struggles he had as a refugee in Lebanon, and his new beginnings in Canada. Majd shares how one simple project of writing his story became his therapy; it became the root of his healing.
