Jamal Taylor: Seeing the Best in the Worst + Love on Purpose

June 21, 2022 • Row House

*CW: Jamal is a sexual assault survivor, and experienced suicidal thoughts, which are mentioned early in the conversation.

Jamal is an educator and activist that grounds his work in the cannons of Love on Purpose! Jamal believes that hate has no place in the creation of changing the world. We must find our best selves if we wish to elevate the change we want to see.

In the conversation today, Jamal shares his perspectives on how important it is to see the best in people in the worst of situations. He elaborates on how and why therapy and laughter have been integral for his own healing and the work he does today, and the backstory behind “Love on Purpose!”
