On my way out of Rabaa I was confronted by a resident vigilant mob which stole my equipment.

And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago.

And so to think that I had found my way, to found a career that takes me really, one of the big sayings in social work is, Lean into the discomfort of the work.

And so you have to understand that I have a bachelor's in social work, a master's in social work, and I was getting my Ph.D. in social work, so my entire academic career was surrounded by people who kind of believed in the life's messy, love it.
