I then received my Master's Degree from University of Texas at Arlington in Urban Social Planning. I returned to Omaha after living in Spain, Texas and Mississippi, because I knew there were disparities in the city that I loved, and I wanted to create positive impact in the place I call home. I have a passion for helping my community, challenging injustice, and creating sustainable system change. Because of that, I have spent the last decade of my professional career workin

Join Emilio in a conversation with Dr. Ferial Pearson, the founder of the Secret Kindness Agents! Moved by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, Ferial wondered if a simple act of kindness could change a life.
