The prime objective of my work is to create grass roots-level conversations that can lead to building bridges and creating communities to address critical societal issues. I believe our country is suffering from an ever-increasing wealth gap, a politically divided nation, and an overall feeling of uncertainty. I hope my piece stimulates thought and inspires action. Collectively, people have a stronger voice than individuals and can improve our civic life. Now is the time to bring people together, especially reaching out to those who have been underrepresented in the past.
