Over the years, we have consistently been blown away by the examples of generosity we’ve witnessed from our community of creatives and entrepreneurs. We asked some of them to open up to us about where they think their generosity comes from.

When I think of generosity and where I could have potentially been inspired to be generous I think of my mom. Through everything, though my mother struggled, she always found a way to be generous. I saw my mom put others above her self. I saw her comfort others in their times of distress. Even when my mom “did not have it”, she always somehow made it happen. Read more>>

In the first grade, I said something hurtful to someone, and to be frank, has probably left a scar to this day — and I have no clue how to get a hold of her today to apologize, check in, or make amends. I believe this moment is one of the defining events which fueled my quest for kindness. Everyone has off-days, and I’m susceptible to them as well, but each day, I strive to offer kindness, love, and generosity wherever I go and with whomever I interact. Read more>>

The encouragement and support I’ve received are the greatest gifts one can offer. Read more>>

I feel generosity is a part of human nature. As members of the human race, it is natural to want to do good. Unless of course, life circumstances take their course. Since I was a little girl, I’ve always been a giver; I’m an empath. I’ve always believed being able to help others and having the position to do so is a blessing. Read more>>

I was raised to always be respectful and kind, and I truly believe in the saying “treat others how you want to be treated”. I have always appreciated when others go out of their way to make my day better, so I continually strive to do the same for everyone I meet. I don’t see customers as transactions, but instead as individual interactions in which I can get to know and connect with so many new friends! Read more>>
