Sajjad Shaw is the man behind the viral instagram account: muslimsoftheworld1 and marketing director of Minder, a muslim marriage app. He was a CPA who left the corporate world behind to focus on telling stories, connecting people, and helping people find partners in a digital age where we are as isolated as we are linked. The driving mission of his life seems to be connection, but while talking to him I could see his connection isn’t with the trappings and pitfalls of this world, but with connecting people and striving for something greater than what this world provides.

Rabbi Nancy Kasten welcomed me into her home for this interview and took the time to speak with me during her incredibly busy schedule. She is a community educator, volunteer and activist. With Israel being such an explosive topic I spent my time wanting to understand her point of view and not trying to debate (Which goes against my nature anyway). The one thing we both completely agree on is the fact that discussions like this need to take place more often. We may disagree on some things, but I can listen to her and understand her and search for common ground. And thats where I feel change, healing, and hope start.  To support more episodes like this.
