Welcome to Inviting Oneness, a podcast where we explore true stories from friends and members of EquaSion—stories where the illusion of separateness gave way to the deeper truth of our shared humanity. Oneness isn't an idea, it's an experience. And today we continue listening for it one story at a time.

Our guest today is Somya Paul. Soumya Paul is a real estate professional in Cincinnati, known for her client-focused approach and commitment to building strong community relationships. Alongside her career, she actively volunteers at the Hindu Society of Greater Cincinnati, where she currently serves as the Cultural Chair. Soumya is passionate about organizing cultural and community events that bring people together and celebrate diversity. She looks forward to contributing her experience and energy to EquaSion’s mission.

To honor Chip Harrod’s Legacy, we invite you to invest in the Chip Harrod Transformative Dialogue Fund. EquaSion’s year-end giving campaign continues through the end of December.

For decades, Chip Harrod, EquaSion’s founder and former Executive Director, brought people together across faith, race, and ideology. Chip retired this year but EquaSion is continuing his work through The Chip Harrod Fund for Transformative Dialogue. Dialogue can give us a way forward. When we sit together, listen honestly, and share our stories, something shifts. Understanding grows. Trust grows. Community grows. This is the work Chip spent his life championing, and it’s the work we must continue.
