When I think about what I've learned from all of this, is that we can transcend the worst thing that ever happened to us, we can transcend the worst thing we've ever done.
How do you forgive someone who has caused you immense pain? Episode 12 of 'The Story of Our Trauma' tackles this profound question through the extraordinary journey of Tasreen Khamisa and Tony Hicks. Tasreen's brother, Tariq, was tragically killed in a gang-related robbery by Tony, a devastating event that could have easily led to a lifetime of resentment and anger. Instead, Tasreen chose a different path—a path of forgiveness and healing.
Raised as a Shia Ismaili Muslim, Tasreen's beliefs in helping others guided her through the long and arduous process of forgiving Tony. It wasn't easy, but over time, she found herself face to face with her brother's killer. Today, they consider each other family and work together to promote restorative justice through the Tariq Khamisa Foundation. Hosted by Dr. Shauna Springer, this episode dives deep into the challenges and rewards of forgiveness.
The conversation highlights how compassion and understanding can turn unimaginable pain into a source of hope and healing. By sharing their story, Tasreen and Tony aim to break the cycle of violence and transform it into a cycle of hope. Their work with the Tariq Khamisa Foundation focuses on preventing youth violence and helping young people heal from trauma. This episode isn't just about coping with loss; it's about thriving and finding inner peace through the power of forgiveness.
Tune in to hear how two people turned a tragic event into a mission to spread awareness and foster healing.
