Monica Guzman: "I Never Thought of It That Way"

For Adults Other Volunteering/Nonprofits Nonprofit Events Other Civic Lecture Educational Dialog Community

What’s Happening?

‘The way you show people that they matter is aiming your curiosity at them. Ask yourself “what kinds of people do I talk about, but never with?” Whoever is underrepresented in your life will be overrepresented in your imagination.’ —Mónica Guzmán


Ready to fight back against the confusion, heartbreak, and madness of our dangerously divided times? Find the answers you need by talking with people—rather than about them—and asking the questions you want across the divides you want, curiously. Seeing where people are coming from isn’t just possible. It’s easier than you think. Mónica Guzmán is Director of Digital and Storytelling at Braver Angels, a nonprofit working to depolarize America, host of the Crosscut interview series Northwest Newsmakers, and author of “I Never Thought Of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times.” 

This important programming is offered in partnership with Florida Humanities as a part of our multi-year series “UNUM: Democracy Reignited.” Meet our extraordinary streaming partners below.

We’re delighted to welcome streaming partners BridgeUSA, Listen First Project, USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future,  Common Ground Committee, Civic Health Project, YOUnify, Citizen Connect, Center for the Humanities at University of Miami, Tallahassee Democrat, WFSU Public Media, and Network for Responsible Public Policy.
