Empowering Youth to Be the Light of the World | Nava Ghalili

In this talk, produced by Bahaiteachings.org, Emmy-nominated TV journalist and researcher Nava Ghalili studies youth based on the belief that every child is potentially the light of the world, and at the same time, its darkness. She asks: “What does it look like, to be a bringer of light to the world?” She discovers that youth who are empowered to see their spiritual attributes within, and who have opportunities to put those attributes into practice, can become the world’s light-givers.
