T.Shardé

I was expecting a story about a stranger and to be inspired about kindness, but I walked away with so much more. Sharde presented an uplifting, hopeful, beautiful story about such a heartbreaking and complex topic. She captivated the audience through storytelling in creative ways that truly left me and the rest of the audience speechless in a good way! She is a master storyteller and challenges everyone to think differently about the hard things in our lives. I was inspired by Sharde to never underestimate the power of kindness--whether it's giving someone a simple smile, lending a listening ear, or answering that phone call in the middle of the night when someone is in crisis. It reminded me of the beautiful ripple effect kindness can have and for me personally, I never want to lose sight of the small and big ways I can show kindness to others. I connected with the session deeply as I have experienced a lot of loss. The session helped me reframe my losses and it served as a critical reminder that kindness never ends.
