Attempting to answer those questions and others is Daniel Kurtzer, who was US Ambassador to Cairo under the Clinton administration and to Tel Aviv for George W. Bush. He joins the show from Washington.  Also on today's show: Kang Kyung-wha, Incoming President and CEO, Asia Society; Monica Yunus, Daughter of Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus; Michael Kirk, Director, Frontline's "Democracy on Trial"  Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone has a voice, but not all are able to use it. Some due to external societal restrictions, others because the confidence to express ourselves has not come so naturally. The Social Disruptors hosts Ned Breslin speaks with Camille Zamora, and Monica Yunus both trained Sopranos and founders of Sing For Hope to talk about finding your voice, and making the jump to using it as a tool for social change. Sing for Hope fosters individual creativity through alliances with artists to help individuals find their art form for expression. The process is intimate and vulnerable, a hard place to be. But when one finds their voice and power to change the world, great things happen. Stay tuned at the end to hear the incredible music of multiple artists in a song that brings awareness to amFRAM, an organization that is making aids history.
