Keep Up the Kindness Movement - #passiton

One of the things I value most in people is kindness and everything related to kindness (empathy, compassion, etc.). I feel as though that trait is one that can truly make the world go round. That being said, I would love to create a movement where the primary goal is do kind things for one another, and continuously pass that kindness on. I've seen social media videos where someone buys a fast food meal for the person behind them, then that person does the same, and then the chain keeps going; I would love for my movement to have a similar style. Not just for fast food of course, but for anything kind, whether it is helping someone cross the street, or just letting a stranger rant to you about what they're going through. My mission of the Keep Up the Kindness Movement is to continue kindness and just pass it on to others.

My organization is unique because these acts of kindness will be performed on a global scale, both in real life and digitally. As I mentioned before, a big part of the movement involves helping people in person. It's especially nice because you can connect with someone first-hand and see them, talk to them, etc. in a physical space. But with today's technology, it could be cool to even document these acts of kindness on a Keep Up the Kindness app (shoutout to Angel for writing this idea in his comment). It would be similar to Reddit, where people can write short posts about something they did for something (without giving too much information of course, animosity is important), or something they would like to do for someone. I think the app could inspire more people to continue doing nice things for one another, and people can even connect with each other through the app and help each other even if they are not in the same room. For example, one person in China who speaks Mandarin could help another person across the globe by giving them short 5 min lessons for free everyday. I feel like stuff like that could really make the world a happier place for everyone, and the small, little things in life really add up over time.

I would hope that Anima Mundi Development Partners supports my organization because the goal of the movement is to just do good in the world, and I seriously think we could use more good, especially now. With everything going on such as wars and devastating pandemics, I just thought it would be nice to have people do kind things for one another. There's so many stories out of there of people having a better day just through receiving one compliment or one smile from a stranger. I can only imagine that if everyone receives some sort of act of kindness, it can lead to everyone having brighter days in this usually dark world.

Who I Am Matters

Where I'm From?  I'm an East Coast girl! Specifically, I am in the southern part of New Jersey, and I am literally 10 minutes away from Philly across a bridge. I could probably walk there if I wanted to. Philly > my hometown for sure though. My town is super small, and the only redeeming thing we have is this store called Wawa, which is like a 7-Eleven but so much better haha. Where I'm Going? Hopefully if things stay as planned, I'm going to Seattle to pursue my marketing career at Microsoft! Where the weather is rainy, and the city is calm. When you really think about it, it's kind of the opposite of LA. But hot take...I actually don't really like LA haha! It's too hot for me! But I really love USC, so that's pretty funny. Fingers crossed I end up liking Seattle though.  🤞 How I'm Getting There? I was thinking about either just taking a plane there....OR I can do a road trip! For those reading this, comment down below which one I should do. Ho...

All the Young Men  - Final Thoughts Book's Plot I'll try not to give too much away, but  All the Young Men  is a true story that is focused on Ruth Coker Burks, the author herself. A mother living in Arkansas during the 1980's, Ruth became a beacon of light through her actions and kindness towards gay men whom were dying from AIDS. At the time, other people (even nurses) were too scared to help these men because they thought they would get infected with AIDS themselves. However, as a Christian, Ruth put all of her fears aside to care for them. Eventually, she becomes well-known in the area as the person that will aid these men until they pass. Aside from that, she helps drag queens, searches through funeral homes for their bodies, and even chats with her friend Bill Clinton. Overall, this book takes us on a journey through what Ruth went through as a young adult. Key Takeaways For me, I think the biggest key takeaways were not only realizing how important just basic human...

Hair Braiding

For the past three days, I have been doing nothing but braiding my hair. It is quite the intricate process. This time specifically, I am trying to do a hairstyle called "box braids," and it definitely has been time consuming. The process is as follows: I wash my hair, making sure to shampoo and condition it well. Soon after, I'll add a protein treatment as well as a deep conditioner on my hair to make sure it is strong and moisturized. After washing those out, I'll safely blow dry my hair straight to make it easier to braid with. Finally, I can actually start the braiding process by adding additional hair to my real hair. For professional braiders, this is something that can be achieved in 8 hours max. However, for a newbie like myself, this has taken nearly half a week. This is not only due to my own laziness, but the process is just very long in itself. However, for people with coily hair like mine, hairstyles like this can be very protective for our hair.
