Be the Change

Season 7 Episode 14 | 26m 14s

Change isn't only forged by the mighty; the actions of everyday individuals often spark it. Negin champions the cause of women's rights in Iran; Lisa and heroic health aides share the life of a COVID-19 patient; and Mikhala channels the legacy of jazz and Creole into a vibrant retelling of New Orleans' history. Three storytellers, three interpretations of BE THE CHANGE; hosted by Theresa Okokon.

Aired: 03/10/24
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD and GBH.
Extras
The path to – and through – motherhood is rarely a straight line.
Sometimes what guides us most feels as natural as breathing.
Not all gifts come neatly wrapped or arrive when we expect them.
Love is rarely simple, and it almost never looks the way we imagine it will.
What is home? A house filled with memory? A country we long for? A person we can’t live without?
Life delivers moments that are so strange, so charged, they linger long after they’ve passed.
What does it mean to find home? Is it lost family? A chosen community? Or living your own truth?
Love sends us leaping before we look, saying yes while ignoring any red flags waving in the wind.
Sometimes we feel an inner shift that signals a crossroads, urging us to choose what comes next.
Life can twist in an instant, taking turns you never saw coming.
