Alexa Benavides graduated with a degree in Intercultural Peacebuilding with a certificate in Mediation and a second degree in Cultural Anthropology  from the University of Brigham Young Hawaii. She is the founder of Agape with Alexa- a unique online store selling products beautiful products from all over the world ethically, and sustainably. 

"Agape is something of the understanding, creative, redemptive goodwill for all men. It is a love that seeks nothing in return. It is an overflowing love; it's what theologians would call the love of god working in the lives of men. And when you rise to love on this level, you begin to love men, not because they are likable, but because God loves them." - Martin Luther King Jr. 

In this episode Alexa and I discuss the increasingly importance of empathy in our world today. Alexa explains why conflict is important, the prison cycles, and the importance of opening our eyes through travel. We tackle what it means to be an informed consumer, the significance of privilege, and what ways we can be helping out in our communities.
