Silicon Valley Reads 2022: The Power of Kindness, Resilience and Hope

Valarie Kaur, Reyna Grande, and Richard Lui offer their unique perspectives about how the power of kindness, resilience and hope can move us forward as a community.

Kaur will discuss how "revolutionary love" can heal our world; Lui will share his experience of how compassion impacts individuals and our community; and Grande will reflect on her own journey crossing the US-Mexico border as a child and the resilience she developed during her life.

Each of their stories and experiences provides hope for our collective future and inspiration to become better people in the world.
