I like to make people smile when I see they are having a not-so-good day
Because everyone has their own story and deserves to share it without being judged

I build houses for Habitat for Humanity; but more importantly, I'm raising my son to be a decent, open-minded and empathetic man.
I laid down with the boy I babysat so that he could fall asleep without being afraid of monsters.

I am dedicated to helping college students accomplish their dreams and I present an LGBTQ training for Career Service professionals locally and nationally to help counselors provide career specific advice to the LGBTQ population.
Because this is an incredible project that focuses on the positives in everyone and helps to extinguish stereotypes.

I make the playground I'm at with my granddaughter, cleaner than we find it. I've done everything from pulling a few weeds out of a pretty flower bed to throwing away trash (safely) and use it as a teaching moment.
Judging a person through a label doesn't allow for knowing them for what's on the inside. Here, it's fun to wear our labels with pride!

Everyday I try to make an effort to give everyone I meet all the patience and attention I have so they feel they are truly being listened to and cared for. I think one of the biggest mistakes in this life is rushing people, their thoughts, and not taking in the daily wonders that are the people around us. We can all learn from one another, we just have to listen. I write/perform poetry, volunteer, and work with the elderly :)
To show people that we as humans agree with beliefs that may be alike, but may also be different. To show that we're all conflicted, just at different crossroads.
I donated my hair. Eight inches went to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths Foundation and I couldn't be happier with my hair. However, people tend to immediately assume I'm some rebellious being because of my spiky and silly hair, when it's actually gone to a place where a woman that cannot grow hair will be able to wear it.
I heard about the project at a local art festival and I was very excited. People tend to identify themselves with the labels that are placed on them and they change their true beings to someone they actually are not.

It's the little things that count...
I bring students without cars a ride when they need to go somewhere.
