I paint rocks as part of the Kindness Rocks Project and leave them out to brighten people's days. I especially like to do kids' rocks...superheroes, Harry Potter, Star Wars - feels great to put a smile on the face of a child.

Working Mom

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I volunteer as often as I can for non-profits and donate regularly to various charities even though my personal budget is very tight. I also teach self defense courses to women for free based on my 30+ years of martial arts experience.

Why are you participating?:

I don't fit into a box. People are always trying to label me, and so now I own my own labels. My labels change every single day - and I am not defined by them.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

On the day I took these photos I was volunteering as an activist: asking for support in protecting trans folks' right to access public spaces.

Why are you participating?:

Well... a friend, or just another human being you've never met asks you to participate in something. It doesn't take too much effort, but it's important to them, and perhaps it'll effect some positive change.
