I volunteered at a soup kitchen in Israel. I helped serve food and deliver the food to tables. The experience was extremely gratifying. I learned the universal language that day: happiness. The smiles of everyone in the room still resonate in my mind.
I make many judgments towards others often in a joking manner but I want to prove to myself and others how caring I am.
When I run, I try to say hello/good morning to every person I pass, in the hopes that it brings the world a little closer.
Allowing individuals to label themselves, and share the labels through a picture is such a powerful action. It is essential to break down the barriers of what our society's categorization, and inspire people to view each other as individuals under the same sky.

I am starting a campus initiative called Beneath the surface at Clark university where actors will share the anonymously submitted stories of Clark students, faculty, alumni and staff and their experiences with mental illness and invisible disabilities. I want to end the stigma and prove that nobody knows whats Beneath another's Surface!
If I see something wrong I will say something. When i think "see no evil" I think of stopping the evil that I see. standing up for the underdogs. Nobody truly knows what goes on in anothers life, people need to stop being so quick to judge.

Aside from helping my family and friends whenever possible and however I can, I've done a decent amount of work for various animal rights groups, and I also donate 20% of my income to charity. Sorry, I know it's supposed to be one, but I have a tendency to get carried away with things...
It's not often that I get to participate with things like this and I love being involved!
Talked three people out of suicide in the past year and a half.
I empower women and girls to direct their own lives.

I hope to make the lives of other cancer survivors better.
Because I believe the power of good is far more powerful than any other.
I do hospice volunteer work.
Because I'm full of contradictory labels and identifications that just don't mean much in the end.
