We asked entrepreneurs, artists, creatives and folks from every walk of life to share stories of kindness with us because we believe that hearing about kindness inspires more kindness. Our world needs more kindness.

I have two amazing friends Natalia and Candace. We share our suites together and they are just the best people I’ve ever met. They are so selfless and our dynamic compliments each other so well. I have never had women in my work place that didn’t leave everything to me. This was the first time ever that I didn’t have to buy all of the supplies or contribute more than I had to. Read more>>

The Kindest thing someone has ever done for me was believing in me more than I ever could. His name is Cedric Zachary. He is the one who pushed me to be a online fitness coach.

Many years ago, I had met Andy Naud, the president of a visual FX company called Introvision International. At the time, Introvision was one of the most successful FX companies, providing work for high-profile movies, television shows and commercials.

I have been blessed with many acts of kindness in my life. There were two women though who were particularly kind with respect to my business. When I first started making jewelry I was a fanatic. I took my jewelry supplies everywhere that I went. I took a tray, gemstones, jewelry making tools and beads wire, all held in a cardboard pizza box to Girl Scout meetings, playdates, group meet ups and ballet lessons. Read more>>

Over 22 years ago, my significant other brought home a small painting kit. It contained 3 wrapped canvases, a few brushes and a few tubes of acrylic paint. I didn’t even know what acrylic paint was or how to hold a paint brush in my hand. However, without even asking if the kit was for me, I started to use it. I found a calmness and happiness that was flowing through my veins like I have never felt before, in my life. Read more>>

Kindness is the most exquisite gift. Elise Loehnen featured me on the Goop Podcast which led to massive client referrals. Gwyneth Paltrow has been an extraordinary support of my work which has led to incredible opportunities and publishing. My helpers Kalpana and Sarah create the infrastructure so that i can focus on my gifts. My partner Rendy is the epitome of kindness on a daily level which makes life a safe and magical journey.

Annie Choi

She’s probably not going to want me to name her, so I will say refer to my best friend’s mom by her initials ML. Before opening Found Coffee, I ran an IndieGoGo campaign to raise capital. Because she didn’t want any commission/fees to be pulled from her donation, ML wrote me a check directly…for a very large amount of money. I have to emphasize: Read more>>

Before becoming a Dental Hygienist I worked with a general Dentist. The moment I decided to attend Dental Hygiene school, he and his family were very supportive. He payed for my Dental Hygiene education out of kindness and submitted a hand written letter of recommendation on my behalf. To graduate into a profession with no financial debt of student loans has been the greatest gift and I will forever be thankful. Read more>>

The kindest thing that someone has ever done for me has actually been done by a group of people and that would be my family, friends, and followers of my brand. They have been supported since day one and have never given up on me even when at times I had given up on myself. On April 12th, 2023 I had the grand opening for my first brick and mortar store and the out pouring of love and support and people that flew in to share the experience with me was the biggest act of kindness I have ever been bestowed.
