91. Joy, Imagination, Kindness and Mentoring, with Parul Punjabi Jagdish

My guest today is Parul Punjabi Jagdish, who came onto my radar screen because of a talk he gave in Las Vegas attended by one of my previous guests, Robert Landau (https://tworoadsed.org). Currently, Parul is the CEO of AIME Mentoring, Inc. (USA) (https://aimementoring.com/wp1/), a global movement founded in Australia. Parul’s resume is long, and deep. So what is AIME Mentoring? In 2004, AIME founder Jack Bancroft sketched an idea of a social network for good, one that connected university students as mentors with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high school students in Australia, building bridges between two different groups, to lead to educational equity, exchanges of worth and value, and for the mentors a deeper connection to a different lived experience.
