You are needed — to help build a more beautiful and just world

Coming of age

Have you ever stopped to think about what’s wrong with the world?

Or better yet, have you ever asked yourself what you can do to change it? It’s not an easy question — that’s true. So maybe start with this: are you truly free from the many prejudices that permeate our society? Are you able to see beyond what is so often labeled as “diversity”? And what is this “diversity,” anyway?

Though many lives may seem to stand in stark contrast to one another — though each of us grows from our own experiences and puts down roots in different lands — humanity is, in the end, one big extended family.

Through a powerful and heartfelt dialogue, Luigi Ciotti and Stefano Garzaro share the stories of those we often call the “marginalized,” reminding us that no matter where we come from, we should all learn to care for one another — just like a family does.
