" Stories transcend time and space; they connect those across continents on companionship and trust. When I share and consume stories, I enter a global community that allows space for a diverse range of thoughts and voices. Being part of the Millennium Fellowship allows me to participate in a new range of narratives, one that strives for mutual goals. When I engage in my communities, I see we are more alike than different. My life aspirations to positively impact the world do not feel lofty when I remember there is a world inside each individual. In inspiring one person, we are able to cross-pollinate our knowledge and beliefs. I’m incredibly grateful to a part of the Millennium Fellowship and uplift my peers, as I trust they will do the same to me. "
