Jessica Courtney is Vice President of International programs and cofounder of Preemptive Love, along with her husband, Jeremy.

In the earliest days, as Preemptive Love focused on serving children with heart defects, helping them get the therapy and surgeries they needed, Jessica was with families every step of the way, serving as their translator, advocate, and guide.

In 2016, Jessica spearheaded the launch of Preemptive Love’s Sisterhood Collective and the Kinsman brand, bringing refugee-made soap, candles, and other handcrafted products to North America—and empowering Iraqi and Syrian women and men, who lost everything to war, to own their own businesses. Today she leads Preemptive Love’s relief, jobs, and community development programs teams that currently serve in the Middle East, Latin America, and North America, building the most diverse community of peacemakers on the planet.

I had no idea what this episode would mean when we recorded it in early May.  It is so relevant to our hurting nation.  During these discussions of racial reconciliation, let's be mindful of all minority groups.
