We kick off our Distinguished Deltas podcast series featuring Wendy Sullivan, California/Los Angeles, founder of the #imkinderthanthat movement. Learn how a simple teaching led her to create a movement based on kindness!
As our sisterhood knows, kindness has been at the root of Tri Delta from her very beginning in 1888. Sarah Ida Shaw knew it all along, when she and Eleanor Dorcas Pond sought to found a society that should be “kind alike to all.” Tri Delta alumna Wendy Sullivan, California/Los Angeles, created a movement which all started by trying to get her nieces and nephews to be nice to each other. By focusing on behavior and recognizing “i’m kinder than that,” she made this mantra her mission. Kindness makes you feel good and change your attitudes in more judgmental spaces. Her movement became a nonprofit where she’s been able to speak publicly and encourage others to share #imkinderthanthat. She offers great advice to Tri Deltas of all ages with her message on kindness, empathy and being true to yourself.
