I'm most passionate about two different causes: solving poverty problems and improving the educational system.
I am most passionate about helping others with self esteem. I really like the Dove foundation for this purpose. Those are good things to be passionate about.
Which do you want to talk about first?
What do you want to do with them? Oh... both. I mean, either one is fine.
Let's talk about your passions first! Tell me more about the Dove Foundation.
Are you familiar with dove body wash?
I've seen Dove hand soap before, but that's the extend of my familiarity with the company.
The company has several projects that promote natural beauty above cosmetic changes. It also fights against eating disorders and other unhealthy means to achieve beauty.
How does it do that? Promotional videos, conferences, donations to charities?
All of the above. They also do research.
Give me a more in-depth description of their activities, please. I'm really curious to know more about this!
They do promotional videos where they prove that people in magazine covers are super photoshopped. They also do research to understand different cultures and their perspective On body image. They create new campaigns each year that analyze different ways of being beautiful. Their goal is to help people recognize that everyone is beautiful, not just The people Hollywood claims to be.
Does that make it difficult for them to sell their products? Isn't their company based on selling products to help people feel like Hollywood people?
No. Most people want to love themselves for who they are. Their products are also natural, meaning dermatologists highly recommend them because they are healthy for the skin.
That's really neat. Would you ever like to work for the Dove Foundation? Or do you want to start your own movement that accomplishes something similar?
I'm not sure. I'd like to work for them, but if I can't, then I'd like to start my own.
Awesome! That's a neat passion. When I was in high school my self-esteem was really low. Life would have been a lot happier if someone had helped me see that I was great just the way I was.
Most people feel that way. Why are you passionate about overcoming poverty and improving  education?
Well, in high school my family lived for a few months in India. I witnessed first and a lot of the struggles poor people deal with. I would love to help them overcome those struggles. It was sad to see people who spent all of their time focusing on their next paycheck, because it was so hard to support a family. I want to help people find employment that doesn't consume all of their time and hope.
That is awesome. I feel that would solve so many problems in the world!
