Be the Hope

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!

In April 1989, a stranger came to visit me in the most unlikely of places, a psychiatric ward and gave me the gift of hope that changed my life forever, and continues to transform the lives of thousands of people around the world. Although her visit was short, she taught me that a random act of kindness can give hope and change a life forever. For years, I have wanted to share her story with the world. And, on May 2nd, I finally had the opportunity to do so at TEDx MtHood. Hope my TED talk inspires you to BE THE HOPE, change a life, and heal the world, one person at a time.

Please share my TED talk with your family, friends, and colleagues and encourage them to BE THE HOPE. Thank you!

I offer my deepest gratitude to the dedicated TEDx MtHood team and my fellow speakers for all their hard work and support.
