Meet Chari Chin-Young Caston! She came through for Episode 14 and shared:
1. How traveling and reverse culture shock have changed her life;
2. Her hatred of the question "what do you want to be when you grow up?";
3. And how her fear of missing out (FOMO) sabotaged inspiration and success.
Chari, adventurous, peacemaker & co-founder of the World Peace Connection. After quitting their jobs in 2015, Chari & Dane served in local communities during their two-year long backpacking journey in Southeast Asia. In the midst of following their own inspirations of traveling & helping others, they turned it into their profession by developing their non-profit organization called World Peace Connection.
World Peace Connection's mission is to help individuals put action behind their inspiration, while getting others to join them by answering their infamous question, “What inspires you the most about life & living?” Through this question, they’ve collected over 200 inspiring stories in over 25 different cities, while funding over 8 different international projects.
In recent works, they’ve been recognized for creating an innovative curriculum called Peace Projects designed for companies, schools & entrepreneurs who are looking to put action behind their inspiration. World Peace Connection has started a new project called Common-Unity, taking two highschool graduates to a one-week cross-cultural leadership trip to Bogota, Colombia.
World Peace Connection has been featured for their impactful works & community contributions from different platforms such as Build your own Brand, Impact46, Huffington Post, Black and Abroad, YNPN Atlanta 30 under 30, New York University, Discovery High School, Central Gwinnett High School, to name a few.
Chari's #TNWIDTakeaway: "You’re given this life and you have to make a decision to live."
