I travel quite a bit for work, and while I don’t talk much on my flights, I make a point of chatting with my Uber driver once I land. Many Uber drivers are immigrants. And certainly, fewer of us can say “I know how they feel, because I experienced that also.” Many Uber drivers can say just that. Does learning about someone else’s lived experience cause us to make changes in our own lives? But in a world where we are increasingly disconnected from one another and operating in our self-absorbed realities, talking with your Uber driver might just make a difference.
