Kurious

After Trump targeted the Somali community for alleged fraud, I talked to a driver in Minnesota to learn about Somali culture. In the end, should we be blaming them? A conversation about stereotypes, community struggles, and getting the real story from someone who actually lives it. 

A conversation with a Hispanic driver about the struggles with ICE and how during the holiday season it affects their family. Some don't even want to go out. A raw discussion about living in fear, family separation, and how immigration enforcement changes everything - even Christmas celebrations 

A conversation with an Uber driver getting hurt by the TSA shutdown - how one small thing affects us all. We talked about how everyone is surviving, or are we all just playing pretend that we're okay when the system is breaking down around us 

 I talk to someone who was a child of the Syrian war, and his stance was shocking to me - he believes war is necessary. A conversation that challenges everything you think you know about conflict, survival, and what someone who lived through hell actually believes about violence and peace. 

In this ride, we talk about how people need to suffer to make moves in their lives. Also, get out of America if you're not going to be a good person. A conversation about growth through struggle, personal responsibility, and what it means to deserve the opportunities this country offers 

In this ride, we talk about how if Uber drivers aren't getting carjacked, they're watching soap operas. A conversation about all the ways Uber is becoming more dangerous for both drivers and passengers, and what's really happening on these streets that nobody talks about 

In this ride, we talk about how people aren't being themselves and once you start, your healing begins. A conversation about authenticity, masks we wear, and how the journey to becoming who you really are might be the most important healing work you'll ever do 

In this ride, we talk about how we can all benefit from a warm heart during cold times. A conversation about compassion, kindness, and how a little warmth can make all the difference when the world feels harsh and unforgiving. 

In this ride, my driver gives me a conversation I needed to hear. You're exactly where you need to be right now. Be the turtle, not the hare. Sometimes a stranger in a car delivers the perfect reminder about patience, timing, and trusting your journey 

In this ride, my driver tells me how putting himself in uncomfortable situations helps him become a better man. A conversation about growth, pushing boundaries, and why the things that make us squirm might be exactly what we need to evolve
