from Cynthia Germanotta
My daughter and I are so grateful and full of love for the world and the stories that have been shared with us and have inspired us to spread kindness. I say this on behalf of our team at Born This Way Foundation: our Executive Director, Maya Enista Smith; Alex Aide; Shadille Estepan; Mitu Yilma; Susan Horrell; Risa Vierra; Josh Meredith; Jasmine Moniz; and Aysha Mahmood, whose efforts and amazing relationships with our Channel Kindness reporters helped shape these stories into such powerful and influential works of kindness. Thank you to Emma Carroll for naming this project Channel Kindness. What beautiful words you chose.
To each and every young person who has contributed to Born This Way Foundation’s Channel Kindness Program, we love and appreciate all of you. Your voice is needed and valued in this world, and we can’t wait to see who joins you in sharing more stories of kindness and bravery.
