On August 27, 2025 we explored the profound wisdom that emerges when a child’s heart declares “no religion is better than another” during times of conflict. Drawing from personal experiences during Lebanon’s civil war, discussants May Ajram and Patrick Makokoro (Ph.D) guided us through an intimate conversation examining what it is in our childhood experiences that nurtures this instinctive rejection of discrimination, how religious discrimination connects to racial prejudice and colonial legacies, and most importantly, how the transformative power of HuUbuntu—“I Am Because We Are”—can create a world where every child and community is truly seen, valued, and respected.
