Life Vest Inside is proud to welcome Adversity to Advocacy (A2A) on board as our Kindness Partner! See below for an interview with Life Vest Inside Founder, Orly Wahba, about her YouTube sensation, “Kindness Boomerang,” and the personal adversity-to-advocacy story behind it. Adversity 2 Advocacy Alliance (A2A) is an all-volunteer 501(c)3  non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and fostering the power of turning personal challenges into service to others with similar challenges. To this end, A2A has three primary objectives: (1) Network and support inspiring individuals who have turned adversity into advocacy; (2) Provide pathways to advocacy for anyone facing adversity; and (3) Showcase the proven power of turning adversity into advocacy. While adversity is something we all experience to some degree, there is one approach that time and time again has proven successful in helping a person overcome the challenges they are facing. It taps the wisdom of the age-old adage that we help ourselves by helping others, and it is supported by a growing body of empirical evidence.  This approach is simply that of turning one’s personal challenges into service to others with similar challenges, and it’s available to anyone battling any form of adversity. A2A aims to achieve its goals through a web-based collection of inspiring stories, educational material, and advocacy opportunities for individuals: (a) facing mental, physical, or other life challenges; and (b) looking for ways to be of service to others with similar challenges. A2A has proven to truly influence change in people’s lives. Life Vest Inside is proud to be associated with A2A and would like to acknowledge the great work they are doing in building a phenomenal healing process for those who have experienced a great deal of adversity in their lives. As their motto states, “We help ourselves by helping others.” A2A Allies program is a very practical way for LVI followers to demonstrate kindness.   By adding your name to A2A’s “Wall of Allies,” followers are simply declaring their belief in the A2A concept that we help ourselves by helping others.  In doing so, you are also showing great kindness to dozens of remarkable individuals who have courageously turned their adversity into advocacy.
