This is episode #5 and the second live recording of Artful Thought at the University of San Francisco's KUSF studio, which aired on Saturday, May 11th, 2019. A USF Alumnus and Development Assistant at San Francisco’s nonprofit organization, No Bully, Génesis Barraza delves into the Kindness Revolution which they describe as a call for social change that has to be created through collaboration, compassion and equity. They share their own experience of childhood bullying in Miami, Florida, and reflect on the impact of afterschool programs which introduced them to nonprofit organizations and the power of community outreach. They elaborate on how both hard work and treating people with compassion— values first instilled by their mother, then later reinforced by educators and other community leaders— have informed their collegiate accomplishments and have led up to the current role they now fill at No Bully. Gen details the nonprofit organization’s mission, which is to help eradicate bullying and in a non punitive approach that involves problem-solving with students (who are either the target or the source of bullying) alongside their teachers, parents, guardians, and other adult leaders in order to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline. No Bully has a 90% success rate in elimination of bullying, while also addressing cyber bullying, in the 326 schools and over 200,000 students they’ve served. Gen emphasizes that bullying is an epidemic, about one in three students are targets of bullying, and that there is an urgent need for nonprofits like No Bully and community members alike to step in and be a part of the Kindness Revolution now.
