Tora Fisher is a New York-based singer-songwriter and performance artist. Her father founded the Fisher House Foundation, a network of comfort homes for military families. Tora developed a keen interest in both the arts and this philanthropic work.

As Tora aptly puts it, "it's not about what happened to me; it's about what's happening."

Drawing on a decade with global faith coalitions, Al-Olaimy explores why spiritual traditions are uniquely equipped to navigate moments of collapse. He suggests aligning our inner values, economies, and ecosystems is essential for restoring life on a changing planet. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 18, 2025)
