Channel Kindness is a collection of 51 stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world collected by the Born This Way Foundation and introduced by Lady Gaga. For Lady Gaga, kindness is the driving force behind everything she says and does. The quiet power of kindness can change the way we view one another, our communities and even ourselves.
She embodies this mission and, through her work, brings more kindness into our world every single day. Lady Gaga has always believed in the importance of being yourself and being kind to yourself and others, no matter who they are or where they come from.
With that sentiment in mind, she and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to making the world a kinder and braver place. Through the years, they’ve collected stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world, proving that kindness truly is the universal language.
And now, we invite you to listen to these stories and follow along as each and every young author finds their voice, just as Lady Gaga has found hers. You’ll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, who prevailed in the face of bullies, who started their own social movements, who decided to break through the mental health stigma and share how they felt, who created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth and who have embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return.
Individually and collectively, the stories collected here prove that kindness not only saves lives but builds community. Kindness is inclusion, it is pride, it is empathy, it is compassion, it is self-respect and it is the guiding light to love. Kindness is always transformational, and its never-ending ripples result in even more kind acts that can change our lives, our communities and our world. This audiobook includes an introduction read by Lady Gaga.
