Scholars Sophia Ventura Cruess & Tabitha Nakholi “Peace is Possible”

Wherever you are, “bring peace with you”, is the message of Sophia Ventura Cruess & Tabitha Nakholi. Both are master’s degree students at the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies in San Diego, California.
I am so excited about this conversation. The optimism, ideas, and hope, Sophia and Tabitha share for ending the cycle of violence and shaping peace will show you how peace is possible in these challenging times.

As Tabitha says “ We are the Change Makers” and Sophia shares her father’s words, “we who are blessed must be a blessing”.

Tabitha, born and raised in Kenya says her passion for peace helped her create a non-profit to empower and help girls stay in school, during their monthly cycle. Her peace work has helped her see the benefits of her personal philosophy of “progress not perfection” for getting things done.

Sophia, born and raised in Orange County, CA has discovered that peace is the action to bring people together and provide greater avenues for hearing the “calling of your destiny”. Her fieldwork includes working with K-5th grade students teaching them how to value themselves and how to prevent violence in their future.
