[Disclaimer] A note before we begin. Please be advised this episode may be upsetting for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
Where were you on September 11th, 2001?
If you’re old enough to remember that day, you likely can recall exactly what you were doing, who you were with, where you were, and how you felt at that time. It’s a memory we’re not likely to forget.
But if you were there in New York City—close enough to feel the ground shake, breathe in the dust from the fallen towers, and listen to desperation from the crowd—then that humbling experience changes you.
My guest today is Christina Stanton. Christina is a writer and the founder of the nonprofit, Loving All Nations, an organization birthed out of the suffering seen and unmet needs identified along her travels.
In this episode, we’ll hear:
- What it was like for Christina and her husband living through the events of 9/11.
- How essentially being homeless for two weeks after the two towers fell shaped Christina’s mindset for people in need.
- The importance of building a community mindset in American society.
- And more!
Thank you so much for listening to the Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast! Be sure to share this episode with those around you. Together, we’ll build a stronger community and change the world on our own terms.
Enjoy my conversation with Christina!
