Americans are talking more than ever, yet understanding each other less. Differences in politics, faith, and values are making even simple conversations feel risky.
National Muslim leader and peacebuilding expert Daisy Khan explains that many well-meaning attempts to bridge differences actually make conflict worse. She explains why facts alone rarely change minds, how silence and cancel culture fuel division, and how simple language shifts can de-escalate conflict in real time.
Drawing on her work training schools, workplaces, and communities, Khan reveals practical tools for confronting bias without escalating conflict. She also shares insights from her book 30 Rights of Muslim Women, which challenges common assumptions about faith, identity, and equality.
SAMPLE QUESTIONS: Can avoiding controversial topics actually fuel extremism? Why do attempts at empathy sometimes backfire in cross-cultural conversations?
