Valarie Kaur has lived the radical lessons of love that she shares as "an American interfaith leader, lawyer, filmmaker, Sikh activist, and founder of The Revolutionary Love Project based at the University of Southern California." She knows the sting of losing friends as a child because of her religion. She knows the trauma of losing a beloved family friend who was killed in a hate-crime in the aftermath of 9/11 . Even so, she chooses to love because as she says, "love is the only thing I have ever seen to create lasting change." This is the challenge she presents to each of us in this time of confusion and fear. Radical love isn't always comfortable or easy, but it offers a path forward for the courageous.
