In this inspiring episode of WarCry For Our Children, Elder M sits down with Jabari Hall — TED Talk speaker, author, and founder of J.Has.Heart, a global Social & Emotional Learning organization transforming school culture across four countries (with a fifth on the way).

His work equips K–12 communities with SEL curricula, educator development workshops, parent engagement, student assemblies, internships, and scholarships — all centered on the belief that “SEL grows the whole human.”

🌱 How SEL can break cycles of trauma and empower children

🏫 The crisis inside modern school systems

🧠 Why mental health, belonging, and emotional literacy matter

🌍 The global footprint of J.Has.Heart

💡 The role of faith, purpose, and integrity in leadership
