Perspectives from a Pomegranate

May 2 2023 • 5 mins

In this inaugural episode of the "Perspectives from a Pomegranate" podcast, host Lisa Brooks shares her experience of meeting an unhoused* woman outside a grocery store. Ultimately leading to both friendship and a successful effort to help the woman find permanent housing, Lisa recounts their conversations and the challenges they faced, including navigating bureaucracy and overcoming obstacles. Highlighting the importance of helping those in need and the impact it can have on their lives, Lisa invites us to consider the difference between caring about social problems and taking action to solve them.

What can YOU do to be unstoppable, never give up, and make a difference in the world today?

*This recording uses the word “homeless” rather than “unhoused” — we recognize the incorrect usage and will correct it in future episodes.
