I will be taking an ‘ACTIVE’ stand for kids in need, kindness, and supporting classroom needs globally.

What will you take an active stand for in 2018?

Be the change you want to see in the world ~ Gandhi

1. Educate Yourself - Read and research or whatever you can do to learn the most that you can about your cause.

2. Social Media - Social media has changed he way we communicate and it is the most powerful tool out there.

3. Volunteer - Volunteering offers many opportunities for knowledge and experience.

4. Friends - Surround yourself with people that have a similar passion for change in the world.

5. Have Fun and Be Creative - Use your personal talents, thoughts and ideas to create your own form of activism. For example, I could use my aerials for a fundraiser or express myself through my art.

6. Don’t Stop - Never stop learning about your cause and always share your passion with others.

7. Live it - Lead by example! You are a powerful statement by the ways you choose to live your life.

Be ‘ACTIVE’ in 2018

While performing with my Le PeTiT CiRqUe® team at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, there was a reoccurring word I heard throughout the trip. ACTIVIST. The definition of Activist is a person who campaigns to bring about political or social change.

That got me thinking…ANYONE can be an activist for what they feel is important to them either on a small or large scale. You must stand up and be present in the change.

All it takes to be an activists is passion, knowledge and desire to bring about change. Adopt these tactics to help lead an ‘ACTIVE” life:
