About this listen

 In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Sara Rahim, a global interfaith practitioner and youth leader working at the intersection of belonging, inclusion, and social transformation. Sara is part of the Programming Team of ACWAY, supporting young leaders across regions who are building bridges across difference through interfaith cooperation and grassroots leadership. With a decade of experience in network cultivation, health equity, workforce development, and intercultural engagement, she has helped design and lead initiatives that move inclusion from theory into daily practice. Sara has addressed major platforms on the role of interfaith action, including the White House, the United Nations, and multiple G20 Interfaith Forums. She is a Global Shaper with the World Economic Forum and previously served as a UN Youth Representative for the Parliament of the World’s Religions. She holds a Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago. In this conversation, we explore:
  • how her understanding of belonging formed early in life
  • what youth leadership really looks like today
  • how interfaith engagement translates into everyday work
  • why inclusion is not an “extra,” but a responsibility
  • and how she responds to the powerful question passed on by Benny Rietveld: “What are you doing to help?”
This episode is about becoming, choosing to help in quiet but structural ways, and discovering where belonging begins. Listener Engagement:
