Zoe’s Dolls: Zoe Overcomes Bullying and Empowers Girls To Love the Skin They’re In
I love what Zoe Terry is doing to help instill confidence and self-love in girls. Her organization Zoe’s dolls gives African American dolls to children who may not have had a doll that looked like them. Zoe realized the importance of representation after she was bullied and she wanted to make sure other girls could stand tall and be proud in their complexion. Zoe has been featured in numerous outlets including Good Morning America and TED Talks.
Brainstorm: What’s a need in the community that you’re passionate about? How can you start your own organization or start collecting items to help others?

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is a movie telling the story of Mr. Rogers who lived as a gift to us all! He inspired children to love, be compassionate and to get through tough times and I think his message is so relevant to today. I’m excited to see the film, are you?

We’re All In This Together: Love Always Wins
One love, one heart…We are one in Love? – no matter what the media or society says we were all created by God in His image and He has the last say. With all that’s going on in the world today sometimes we might ask…ummm where’s the love? It’s okay to cry, to address our hurt and feelings, to have discussions and even protests and take action against injustice – but always remember that this fight is multifaceted. When we see that the biggest fight is Light vs. darkness, Good vs. evil and take action on every front then #lovewins.
All throughout history darkness and fear tries to divide us by race, gender and differences but we are stronger together for our battle is not against people, flesh and blood but it’s in the spiritual realm. “There is no us vs them. There is only ALL OF US. We’re all in.” – Glennon Doyle Melton
Maybe Bob Marley said it best in his song:
One love, (What about the one heart)
One heart, (What about love)
Let’s get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love)
So shall it be in the end (One heart)
Alright, “Let’s give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.”
