REPLAY S1E14 Kaitlin Johnstone - Teaching Kindness, One Book at a Time

REPLAY - In light of recent events where HUNDREDS of books from a Gender & Diversity program that was shut down last year were tossed in a dumpster, I wanted to replay a really important conversation I had with Kind Cotton founder, Kaitlin Johnstone.  Kaitlin shares her amazing journey as an elementary school teacher that ultimately led her to launch a small clothing company dedicated to putting inclusive books BACK into the hands of children across the country.  Kind Cotton's inspirational clothing and accessories not only exude kindness, they evoke a powerful conversation centered on the importance of being kind not only to yourself but to others.  Their model ... for every Kind Cotton item purchased, they donate a book to a child.  But not just any book, a book where children from all different backgrounds can truly see themselves represented.  It is a powerful moment that can be life changing! This is a MUST LISTEN!   To date, Kind Cotton has donated over 135,000 inclusive books which allows ALL children to see themselves represented out in the world. Kaitlin and her company are committed to spread a message of true kindness, a kindness that embraces love, empathy, compassion, inclusion, and justice ... for everyone.  I loved my time with Kaitlin and I know you will too!
