Sometimes It's hard to unlock that chain. In 2013, two lives came together that would set the course that neither party expected. 'A Nation of Hope' Co-founders, Michael and Natasha L. Fuller, both serve populations learning how to cope with the readjustment within a community filled with barriers and unforeseen challenges. They are my guests today on a 'Special Edition' of 'The Bow Knows Who Is Changing the World'. Michael and Natasha certainly are changing the world. Many individuals they encountered were finding themselves lost in the folds of survival, attempting to find purpose, and healing from the aftermath of their past.
