Translator: Katelyn Nicholson Reviewer: Nadine Hennig In the dark of the night, 4 a.m., I look over and my husband’s not there. I look further, and I find him flat on his back, looking at the ceiling, arms out. “Our lives are hollow and meaningless without children.” It had been two-and-a-half years of hopes and […]

TEDxUFRO – Hari Ravikumar – Spiritual Identity
Psychosis or Spiritual Awakening: Phil Borges at TEDxUMKC
Translator: Mika Fukasawa Reviewer: Maria K. Good evening. One of the things I love about visiting indigenous cultures is it lets me step back in time and see how we all lived centuries ago.

Building Community: Jessica Posner at TEDxMileHigh
Translator: Helena Bowen Reviewer: Denise RQ Hi everyone. So nearly five years ago, I moved into Kibera, the largest slum in Africa while I was studying abroad in Nairobi, a long way to go for a girl from Denver, Colorado.
