What if the skills you already have could change someone's life?
When Barbie Perry learned just how serious bullying had become in Alabama, she knew she wanted to do something about it.
After more than 20 years of teaching dance, Barbie had seen firsthand how music and movement could help her connect with kids in ways that traditional conversations sometimes couldn't.
So she took what she knew and turned it into something bigger. โค๏ธ
She founded Bama Against Bullying, a nonprofit using dance, the arts, and mentorship to help children build confidence, practice kindness, and find their voice.
And that's something we can all learn from.
You don't always have to start something completely new to make a difference. Sometimes, you just have to find a new way to use what you already know.
๐๏ธ On Episode 48 of The GROW & Flourish Podcast, Barbie shares the story behind her mission, the experiences that inspired her, and how she's using her gifts to make a difference in her community.
