Kindness is not weakness.
It’s the strength to listen when others turn away.
It’s the courage to speak gently in a loud world.
It’s the choice to see worth in every soul—especially our own.
I created this campaign because I’ve been dismissed.
But kindness refuses to be silent.
Join me. Wear it. Share it. Live it.
Be kind. Always.
