KINDNESS POEM: PA Humanities has announced the completion of the PA Kindness Poem Project, which includes quotes, poems, photos, songs, videos, and other submissions from residents across the state.
Philadelphia’s poet laureate, Trapeta B. Mayson, took these inspiring materials and created a beautiful, original poem called “Kindness Lives Here.”
In celebration of World Kindness Day, which was Nov. 13, a group of individuals were asked to read the poem aloud. That group included: Mario Andretti, Racing Legend; Conrad Benner, Founder of @StreetsDept and Nationally-Recognized Photographer; Tracy Davidson, NBC10 Anchor; Alejandro Diaz, Principal Dancer at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre; Beck Dorey-Stein, New York Times Bestselling Author of From the Corner of the Oval; Trapeta B. Mayson, Philadelphia 2020-2021 Poet Laureate; Laurie Zierer, Executive Director of PA Humanities and Gisele Barreto Fetterman, Second Lady of Pennsylvania and Frances Wolf, First Lady of Pennsylvania.
