The Economy of Empathy

In this bonus episode of Reset the Algorithm, curated in partnership with Mother Tongue Magazine, Moj Mahdara sits down for an emotional and heart-felt conversation with Rabbi Sharon Brous and Patrisse Cullors. As we see our world more and more divided everyday, the economy of empathy feels in recession. Creating coalition and holding space for one another’s pain feels like the only way forward. In this exchange Rabbi Brous shares how she is choosing to direct the conversation in her community, while Moj shares their homes and dreams for the people of the Middle East, and Patrisse shares her experience building coalitions and creating intersectional communities. From crying together to laughing together, this powerful conversation shows us what it means to truly see one another’s humanity and reminds us how much we need each other.
