Описание: How can travel bind us closer to one another?

CEO and Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Exchange Alumni Yasmine El Baggari joins MentorTalks to discuss founding her platform, Voyaj; how meeting President Barack Obama and then Vice President Joe Biden was a turning point in her life; and the advice she has for others who want to make a difference in their fields.

“Go on an inner journey first,” Yasmine says. “Get to know yourself. Developing a sense of empathy and compassion is so necessary for this type of work.”

After taking a Greyhound bus around the country following her international exchange, the entrepreneur was inspired to turn connecting people into a career. In this episode, find out how this experience changed the course of her life, and how her journey since has taught her that everyone has a role to play in working toward greater cultural understanding.
