Ep. 5: Jason Carter: Lawyer and Politician | Seek out ways to connect

Lawyer and politician Jason Carter joined Mungi to discuss a reality they both know well: "being the grandson or granddaughter of".
In this episode, Jason, grandson of President Jimmy Carter shares his thoughts around the privilege that comes from being related to a former U.S. President. He also speaks about his experience in the Peace Corps in South Africa, a time where he learned about Ubuntu from his adopted "Gogo" (grandmother). He explains how he tries to live the ideals of Ubuntu today, including by teaching its lessons to his children. Jason also addresses the need for the new generation, his included, to take over from the elders who have been leading the Civil Rights movement for so long. Jason's connection to Ubuntu, South Africa and its impact on his life emphasize the Ubuntu lesson ‘Seek out ways to connect’ — those magical moments where we learn a lot more than we expected.
