This past March 2025, in Tampa, Florida, the Voyaj mission once again opened hearts and minds as a magical evening unfolded. We started as 20 strangers from different cultures– American, Moroccan, French, Jordanian, Canadian, and Colombian. As the evening of sharing tea, stories, and our humanity progressed, our connections deepened, and our perspectives expanded.

I can only hope that when and if I am given the opportunity to return the favor, whether it be with any of these people or someone different, that I can leave them with the same feeling of hospitality and kindness that these people offered to us. I have one thing to say in closing… shukran! --Peace always, Julie Tait
