I cannot tell you my gratitude for this lady right here. To have her with me in Africa was one of the greatest gifts of my life. She has fought a tremendous battle over the past 2 years, but you’d never know it - she radiates hope and joy and generosity too brightly. So much of what I’ve learned about Kindness comes from her and her love was in full display with the beautiful humans of Uganda. #chooselove #africanpromiseexp
Meet Jeff - one of my favorite little dudes from a primary school we spent time at in Uganda. The smile is even better in person 😍 #chooselove #africanpromiseexp
I just returned from my first trip to Africa. Alongside @africanpromise_exp, we brought 21 people for 10 days of dancing, laughing, singing, empathy, connection, and kindness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Many of the students who came along have seen me speak over the past 7 years. It was amazing to have them all in one place and to spend time being transformed, together. To add to it, my Mom came along too and fulfilled a 20+ year bucket list item. That lady continues to humble and inspire me with her heart for others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We used content from some of our brand new work with @chooseloveorg to have powerful conversations about Living Kindness. I got a chance to teach @characterstrong lessons to local students and teachers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I gave my first assembly outside of North America to Cornerstone Leadership Academy - an amazing school that serves students in their final 2, pivotal years of secondary school. It was one of the BEST audiences ever. They asked thoughtful, profound questions. They kept processing and summarizing and synthesizing my talk in ways that left me inspired. This photo was taken after we helped build a small shelter that will serve as a classroom for a primary school. It was muddy, beautiful work - and I’ve never seen a community so grateful. They hugged us and cheered. We donated a bike to them and they shared that, “This is not just a bicycle. For us, this is also an ambulance to make sure we can get sick kids help.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Perspective finds small moments to shift you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have a lot of work to do in the world. I believe that thoughtful travel, intentional relationship-building, and conversations in compassion are key ingredients in that work. Nkwagala [I love you],

We talk about physical health and mental health and spiritual health, but I don’t think we talk enough about social health - about our capacity to love and be loved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the past 24 hours, I’ve had a few amazing conversations with @zack.thecreator and @alexradelich regarding the Practice of Kindness in our lives. The common theme? Kindness is an art form that starts with awareness - an awareness of your own personal barriers and an awareness of the needs that surround us every day that Kindness can proactively meet. Awareness compels action and action changes your life and the lives of those you touch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With @chooseloveorg, we are dedicated to making social health relatable and applicable. We are committed to changing the world through every person’s individual Practice of Love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who’s in? #chooselove
