At the recent 39th Michigan Brain Injury Conference a keynote speaker gave a remarkable talk about how she responded to her brother’s brain injury. Her way of coping is having a positive impact on the entire world.
Mallory Brown, age 33, I would wager to say is destined to win a Nobel Peace Prize of which she is deserving. She is a humanitarian filmmaker, impact storyteller, social entrepreneur and humanitarian who has visited 50 countries and is helping thousands of people living in poverty find new hope and new ways to earn livings while having a positive impact on the health of others and the environment.
From the underground tunnels that serve as homes for hundreds of people in Las Vegas to the jungles of Ethiopia, and to the homeless shelters of Detroit, Mallory is modeling the power of empathy and compassion to empower others to make the changes they might have felt were out of the realm of possibility.
She has started a philanthropic campaign around the American proverbial theme of “don’t judge someone until you walk a mile in their shoes.” A few days before starting the campaign her brother unexpectedly passed away. As a result of his brain injury at birth he had never walked a step. But he was Mallory’s inspiration to do the amazing humanitarian work that left not an eye dry in the room and over a thousand people giving her a standing ovation this morning in Lansing, Michigan.
She is taking a very high road in life, dedicated to uplifting others who are living in the most traumatic situations possible. The results are astounding. She quotes an anonymous source, possibly Bill Gates, “Most people overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a lifetime.” Helping lift one person out of a deplorable situation in which they find themselves stuck, has ripple effects positively impacting us all. When you see her videos interacting with those in great need her smile speaks volumes about the positive impact helping others has one’s self-identity, happiness, and life satisfaction.
Mallory Brown has much to teach the world about giving and receiving back through selflessness.
What an inspiration she is! I think she has found the key to positive mental health. Please investigate her work and consider the benefits to your own health by following her example.
