S8 | E8 | Unwrapping Empathy: How Dumas-Wesley Brings Joy to the Season

from Optimistic Tales · host Dr Eric M. Moody

In this special holiday episode, Dr. Moody welcomes back Ms. Joni Hendee, Director of Marketing & Public Relations at the Dumas-Wesley Community Center (DWCC). Together, they unwrap the quiet power of empathy that fuels DWCC’s mission to Educate, Empower, and Enrich the community—highlighting the Annual Toy Store, where families experience the dignity of giving, and the Senior Activities Independent Living program, which nurtures community, purpose, and connection for older adults. Through heartfelt stories and shared reflections, this conversation reminds us that empathy is the thread that ties every act of kindness together. The joy of the season isn’t found in what we give or receive—but in how we understand, uplift, and walk alongside one another.  For more information about DWCC’s programs, visit dumaswesley.org.
