Hey Modern Love listeners. We wanted to introduce you to another podcast we think you might love, called Kind World. It features stories of life-altering acts of kindness and moments of human connection. And we wanted play you an episode featuring a story of compassion at the U.S./ Mexico border. It's about a woman named Shalom, who is forced to flee her native Zimbabwe after a vicious attack, leaving behind her family and two children. She never expected to end up in a Texas respite center with other asylum seekers. Now, she is helping other refugees like her overcome trauma.

If you like it, subscribe to Kind World on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.


Resources: You can reach the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE (4673). You can also visit online.rainn.org to receive support via confidential online chat.
