Hamzah recommends a great movie that we think our geNEOus community will enjoy. "The Pursuit of Happyness" is an inspiring film based on a true story about a man named Chris Gardner, played by Will Smith. Chris overcomes many challenges to create a better life for himself and his son. This movie reminds us all that hard work, not giving up, and facing tough times are important when we want to achieve our goals. We can make positive changes in education, just like Chris did, by finding strength in difficult situations.
Ashley brings in a series recommendation that reflects the spirit of our geNEOus team. "Sense 8" is a show that revolves around eight people living in different parts of the world, yet they share deep emotional and mental connections. Ashley sees parallels between the interconnectedness of the characters and the tight bonds within our geNEOus world. Despite physical distances, we remain remarkably connected, a testament to our shared purpose and unity. Ashley believes this series can remind us of our global ties, especially in a world where face-to-face interactions have become less common. Even as the world changes, our interconnectedness endures.
Alejandra invites us to explore the "Hidden Brain" podcast, an audio space that delves into the intricacies of human behavior and psychology. This choice reflects Alejandra's curiosity about different geographic locations and the connections that bind us all. Just as she seeks to stay linked through technology during her travels, "Hidden Brain" enables us to understand the invisible threads that shape our thoughts and actions, complementing the team's pursuit of holistic wisdom.

Sole advocates for a book that's been popular for a long time. "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" is a book that talks about what makes us want to do things. It's an interesting book that helps us understand how we can do better in our personal and work lives. It's not too hard to read, and it has lots of real stories to learn from.
Sara tells us about a series she really likes, "Life in Colour with David Attenborough." This show is like a beautiful painting of the natural world. Sara thinks about how animals adapt to their environments and change, just like our geNEOus team does. The series shows us how amazing nature is and how we can learn from it. Sara hopes it will inspire us to handle changes in our lives with strength and grace.

Purity shares a song that has a special message, especially during uncertain times like the aftermath of the pandemic. "Doris Day - Que Sera, Sera" is a song that reminds us that sometimes we can't control everything in life. Purity understands how hard it can be to feel like things are out of our hands, and this song helps her find peace when things feel overwhelming.
