Erasing the Hate

TM Garret speaks about his journey into a world of hatred, racism and anti-Semitism and how he changed and became a civil rights and human rights activist and speaker against hate.

TM Garret weaves compassion throughout his story and encourages people to step out from behind technology to have real conversations, to get to know people who are different than you, and to stop judging each other. Build real relationships and embrace those who want to make positive changes in their lives. By sharing his story, TM is showing people you can make drastic and positive changes in your life and his work to aid others as they leave hate groups and gangs. It is a lesson to all of us in compassion and acceptance. His message of compassion and ability to weave the narrative on difficult topics is very powerful.
Sharing and living by his message will help us love all our neighbors and make the world a better place for everyone. Remember, we are all human beings and worthy of love and respect.
