"I think one of the beautiful things to come out of the pandemic is we're all so aware of each other. So I'm certainly aware of how fortunate we are in comparison to so many at this time. So yes, we have our frustrations all being locked it, our teenagers not being able to do things.  Or the monotony, and the fact that I'm a terrible cook and not very good at certain things in the house. But we're certainly putting it all in perspective and just very focused on what's happening around this world we live in, and taking a moment to settle with that even more than before."

What gives you hope, personally and in your work?
"I spend so many years working with refugees around the world...they have taught me so much about resilience, about family, about what life is truly about.  I have seen people overcome insurmountable odds with grace and so much unity and so much love.  I believe in humanity."
