How to Talk to People You Disagree With—Insights from Brit Barron
Description
Brit Barron - Speaker, author, and comedian. Brit’s work explores how we stay connected in a polarized world, focusing on empathy, belonging, and liberation for all people. Brit’s book, Do You Still Talk to Grandma?, dives into cancel culture and navigating relationships with people we love but deeply disagree with.

The conversation is honest, friendly, and full of practical wisdom for anyone trying to build more inclusive communities.
