A powerful collection of 51 inspiring stories from young people around the world, curated by Born This Way Foundation and introduced by Lady Gaga.

For Lady Gaga, kindness is more than a virtue it’s the driving force behind everything she does. She and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation to create a kinder, braver world, and through the years, they have collected stories of compassion, courage, and resilience that prove kindness is a universal language.

Within these pages, you’ll meet young changemakers who have found their inner strength, overcome bullying, launched social movements, and created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth. From breaking the stigma around mental health to embracing self-love, these individuals embody the transformative power of kindness.

These stories are not just about individual acts of good they showcase how entire communities can come together to support those in need, proving that kindness saves lives and strengthens our world. Kindness is inclusion, empathy, pride, and self-respect. It is the light that leads to love.

Be inspired. Be empowered. And most of all, be kind.
