With the recent uptick of hateful and vitriolic language in this country, Muslim storyteller Rohina Malik set out to create a project dedicated to showcasing peace and commonalities between us all. She approached Jewish storyteller Susan Stone and Kim Schultz, who identifies as a Christian storyteller, with an idea: What if they all told stories from their faiths with the goal of bringing people together in the name of peace, curiosity and similarities?
