Sparking Conversation

At TMF, we believe that every movement for change starts with a conversation. When we really listen to each other, we discover new perspectives and explore possibilities. It changes the ways we think and behave. We hope our resources will inspire you to have a conversation, to wrestle with a new idea, to share your experience, your passion, your questions with someone or a few people.
