Things feel tangled lately. It’s hard to know where to look, what to trust, or how to respond, leaving us feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Over time, it becomes easier to tune out than to keep trying to make sense of it all.
Still, maybe you feel a quiet pull toward the people behind the headlines. Toward the stories that don’t always make it through.
Your Global Neighborhood brings individual stories to the surface, unpacks the context, and offers opportunities to respond.
Told with care, shaped by a deep understanding of global systems, international relations and sociology, these narratives are crafted to create pathways towards a deeper understanding of the complexities of the world we share, and a human connection with those we share it with.
When we start with one person’s experience and follow it outward, to the structures, histories, and choices that shape their lives – and ours – we better understand how to exist in a world of complexity. When we are given calls to action that are wrapped in tenderness rather than fury, extending our hands becomes easy – it’s who we are.
Welcome to Your Global Neighborhood.
Stories that bring the world within reach.
Makers
Stories of Work, Worth, and the Will to Build
Stories of people creating with purpose – from small businesses to skilled trades. These are lives shaped by craft, persistence, and the quiet power of building something that lasts.
Borderlands
Stories of Movement and Meaning
Lives shaped by crossings – of geography, of identity, of belonging. These stories explore the human experience of migration and the complex paths people walk to build a future beyond the border.
Refuge
Stories of Displacement and Dignity
In the wake of conflict or crisis, these are the stories of those who’ve been uprooted and are finding ways to begin again. Stories of shelter, resilience, and the long work of rebuilding what’s been lost.
Horizons
Stories of Children
Childhood, in all its fragility and hope. These stories center young lives—how they grow, what they carry, and the futures they imagine, even in uncertain places.
