An Italian American from Nebraska went to Cairo for a couple of years in his early 20s, intending to understand more about the Arab-Muslim world. Little did he know that these formidable years are going to provide a new meaning to his life. Listen to this incredible journey of Dr. Dominic Longo, as we navigate Cairo's quarters from a Christian-American perspective, intertwined with his experiences of inner coming out.
Dominic Longo has a Ph.D. in Arabic and Islamic Studies (Harvard University) and an M.A. in theology (Boston College). A former Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, Dominic also directed the Muslim-Christian Dialogue Center at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. He is currently a founder and managing director of "Flourishing Gays," a leadership development company from an LGBTQ+ perspective.
