How Political Divisions Lead a Brother to Reach Out to His Sister Through This Podcast
<p>This is the story of a self-described Mitt Romney Republican who voted for Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, wrote in Paul Ryan, and voted for Donald Trump. Do I have your attention?</p><p>More so than almost any other conversation I've brought you in the last seven and half years, this one embodies the core mission of <a href="https://ourvoicesmatterpodcast.com/why-this-podcast/">Our Voices Matter</a>.</p><p>I ask that you give my guest permission to speak his truth, and that you have the courage to listen with an open mind. </p><p>In doing so, my bet is that by the end of our conversation, you will find at least one thing you have in common with him. That is my goal.</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrence-keeley-3507a42b/">Terrence Keeley</a> made his mark in the financial world as Managing Director & Global Head of <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/about-us/about-blackrock">BlackRock,</a> the world's largest asset manager, for more than 12 years.</p><p>He was a senior financial advisor to the Vatican under Pope Francis; he now runs two financial services firms,<a href="https://impactevaluationlab.com"> Impact Evaluation Lab </a>and <a href="https://www.1pointsix.com">1Point Six</a>; and he's a devout Catholic with seven siblings.</p><p>Several of them are currently not speaking to him. "How could you have?" is the question now routinely making its way into the family group chat.</p><p>The estrangement from his sister, Michelle, is hitting him especially hard. Their respective views of the killing of<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Renée_Good"> Renée Good</a> has torn them apart. It is one of the reasons Terry wanted to do this podcast interview. </p><p>To talk about how the political divisions in the country have permeated throughout his family -- and so many other families across our nation. </p><p>To explore a nuanced conversation about a variety of hot button issues, including how to disagree without demonizing the other person. </p><p>To let his siblings know how much he loves them -- and help us all remember and reconnect with our shared humanity.</p><p>Truthfully, it would have been difficult for me to have this conversation a few years ago. </p><p>I still have lots of room for improvement, but through more than 150 conversations on this podcast, and my work as Co-founder of <a href="https://civildialogues.us">Civil Dialogues,</a> I'm getting better at doing this.</p><p>Like anything else, it requires practice. Sometimes we stumble and fall short, but the more we do it, the better we get.</p><p>At times you will hear each of us struggling to choose our words. And just so you know, nothing has been edited out.</p><p>This is Terry and Linda wading into the muck and coming out on the other side in one piece.</p><p>From ICE and immigration to Trump and Pope Leo, no topic was off limits.</p><p>I urge you to watch or listen to the very end, especially if you are estranged from someone close to you. </p><p>Michelle, this one's for you.</p>

Why Donald Graham is Championing Undocumented Students - Donald Graham
<p>Most people know <a href="https://www.ghco.com/board-member/donald-graham/">Donald Graham</a> as the former publisher of the Washington Post. These days he is Chairman Emeritus of Graham Holdings, a conglomerate whose operations include online, print and local TV news, among many other sectors.</p><p>He is also Co-founder of <a href="https://www.thedream.us/">TheDream.US</a>, the nation’s largest college scholarship provider to undocumented students.</p><p>When the state of Texas recently announced a <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2025/06/23/texas-undocumented-students-in-state-tuition/">requirement</a> for all public colleges and universities to identify undocumented students, I figured Graham would have some thoughts on the subject.</p><p>I was right.</p><p>He readily agreed to an interview which was conducted August 6th on <a href="https://lindalorelle.substack.com/">Substack Live</a>. This podcast is a recording of that interview.</p><p>It’s part of a weekly segment called “All Eyes on Texas”, highlighting issues at the forefront in the Lone Star state that often have national repercussions.</p><p>With the non-stop news generated by the Trump administration 2.0, it’s easy for important topics to get lost in the shuffle.</p><p>This one is too important to overlook, and after listening to this conversation, I think you’ll understand why.</p>
