Kalina Silverman created Big Talk. She travels globally to make videos, give lectures, and help teach people how to “make Big Talk” in different environments and cultures. Kalina received her degree in Broadcast Journalism from Northwestern University and spent a year working as a Fulbright Research Scholar in Singapore studying ways to use Big Talk to establish empathy across cultures. She is now a U.S. Fulbright Ambassador.
Big Talk provides the inspiration, tools, and services to help people move past small talk and make more meaningful life connections – with loved ones, teammates, classmates, coworkers, strangers, and even oneself. Big Talk is a video series, card game and app, government-funded international Fulbright research project, workplace team-building program, and a global movement that aims to fight loneliness, foster community belonging, and build curiosity and empathy across borders.
