Dear fellow refugees, here's how I found resilience

Chantale Zuzi Leader is one of the millions of displaced people around the world. In a deeply moving talk, she reflects on losing her family, home and sense of safety — only to break through and ultimately find community and hope. It's an astounding story of resilience that speaks to today's refugee crisis.

Losing family and home in a single night, one child became one of the 108 million forcibly displaced people worldwide. She describes how small acts of kindness, bridges of understanding, and access to education helped her rebuild a sense of belonging. Her journey reveals that anyone can become a refugee, and that resilience grows when communities choose compassion over fear. True sanctuary is created together, not found alone.
