Austin, Texas, 19th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Rachelle Clingo Walker Smithfield, known as Rae to her family, friends, and students has spent much of her life in motion. Whether she’s choreographing a school musical, launching youth sports programs, or designing user experiences, one thing remains constant: her belief in the power of storytelling. Today, Rae shares a message she’s passionate about: dance is more than steps and rhythm. It’s a language. It’s a story. It’s art.

Drawing on her deep background in musical theatre and community leadership, Rachelle is shining a light on how dancers of all levels can transform movement into meaning, emotion, and human connection.

“A dance is more than just a dance,” Rae says. “It’s an expression of everything we feel and everything we want to communicate—passion, love, sadness, strength, joy. And when we tell a story through our bodies, we create something unforgettable.”

The Bruce Lee Principle of Dance

To explain how dancers evolve in their storytelling, Rae references a paraphrased quote often attributed to martial artist Bruce Lee:

“Before I studied the art, a punch was just a punch, a kick was just a kick. After I learned the art, a punch was no longer just a punch. Now that I’ve understood the art, a punch is just a punch.”

In Rae’s words, “When we first learn dance, a step is just a step. Then we realize there’s emotion, intention, and character behind every motion. Eventually, that awareness becomes second nature. That’s when we truly begin to dance.”

Step One: Create a Persona

One of Rae’s key insights is the importance of character work in dance. “Great dancing always involves a little make-believe,” she explains. “We’re moving and becoming someone else for those few minutes.”

Developing a persona adds depth to a dancer’s performance. Whether embodying a playful flirt, a sorrowful lover, or a confident diva, every character brings a new layer to movement:

• A secretive character might dance close to the floor, with smooth, subtle movements.

• A relaxed persona could move with lazy grace, minimal effort, and ease.

• A diva would own the floor with exaggerated styling, body isolations, and sultry eye contact.

These choices influence posture, energy, and connection by making the story of the dance come alive without a single word.

Step Two: Express Real Emotion

According to Rae, dancing with emotion is not just an artistic choice—it’s a deeply human experience.

“If you pretend to be sad, wear a sad face, and move like you’re carrying sorrow, you will actually start to feel that sadness,” she explains. “And your audience will feel it too.”

This emotional mirroring allows dancers to evoke real responses from those watching or dancing with them. Rae encourages dancers to explore emotional range through movement:

• Anger: Strong, fast, and sharp movements with intensity in the face.
  

• Sadness: Soft, slow, and smaller movements—often with a downward gaze.
  

• Joy: Light, open, and bouncy movements, with smiles and expressive gestures.
  

These nuances don’t require advanced technique—just self-awareness, empathy, and intention.

Step Three: Tell a Story

Building on character and emotion, Rae emphasizes storytelling as the heart of meaningful dance. Just like a song or a movie, a dance often has a beginning, middle, and end. “The most powerful dances are stories in motion,” she says.

Imagine a choreography that begins with tenderness and connection, builds into a conflict, and ends with resolution or heartbreak. Each phase uses different movements and energy levels to convey the emotional arc.

Another sequence might move from insecurity to confidence, using posture and pace to show transformation. According to Rae, “These shifts don’t have to be theatrical—they just have to be honest.”

And in partner dancing, she adds, the story isn’t just yours to tell.

“Your partner is telling a story too. The magic comes when you learn to listen—not just with your ears, but with your whole body.”

Learning to respond to a partner’s subtle cues of tempo changes, movement direction, or emotional shifts. It makes for a richer, more collaborative storytelling experience.

Not Just for the Stage

Some might assume this kind of emotional storytelling belongs only on the performance stage. Rae disagrees.

“Who says this is only for performances? I’ve had some of my most joyful dance moments in casual social settings—just putting myself in the shoes of an imaginary character and playing. It’s not about impressing anyone. It’s about connecting and enjoying the dance in a whole new way.”

According to Rae, storytelling in dance enhances creativity, builds confidence, and creates deeper connections whether dancing solo, with a partner, or in a group.

Rachelle’s Journey: A Life Built on Expression and Community

Rachelle’s love of storytelling extends far beyond the dance floor. A proud mother of four and longtime Smithfield resident, Rae leads with compassion in everything she does. She holds a full-time bookkeeping role at Kirby Creative Accounting, balancing analytical precision with a strong creative instinct which she brings to life through freelance UX design and community arts.

In 2014, Rae founded a youth athletic club in South Jordan, which grew to serve over 800 participants and is a testament to her drive to build programs that bring people together. She has contributed over 500 hours of volunteer service to the Family Support Center and Utah’s Domestic Violence Coalition, supporting vulnerable families through education, outreach, and empowerment.

Rae also directs the annual musical at Sunrise Elementary, where her choreography and mentorship inspire students to discover their creative voices through movement and performance. “Helping young performers tell stories through dance is one of the most rewarding things I do,” she says.

Moving Forward: The Dance of Everyday Life

Whether she’s organizing a performance, caring for her garden, coaching her sons’ soccer games, or designing digital experiences, Rae is always telling stories. Her belief in the expressive power of dance is part of a larger philosophy—that creativity when paired with compassion, can transform individuals and communities.

“We’re all storytellers,” Rae says. “And we all have movement in us. You don’t need to be a professional dancer to tell a story through dance—you just need the courage to feel something, imagine something, and move with purpose.”

As Rachelle Clingo Walker Smithfield continues to guide young dancers, support her community, and explore new creative avenues, her message is clear: dance is perfection and expression. And with imagination, empathy, and a little bit of play, anyone can learn to tell their story.

Nashville, TN, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, This past weekend, youth attending a local football camp in Ripley got more than just practice on the field—they received life-changing information that could help them avoid dangerous pitfalls in the future. Volunteers from Drug-Free Tennessee were on hand to educate young athletes about the realities of substance abuse, delivering powerful prevention materials from the Truth About Drugs program.

Each participant at the camp received a full set of educational booklets detailing the harmful effects of various commonly abused substances—from marijuana and alcohol to fentanyl and prescription drugs. The booklets are part of a nationwide campaign to empower young people with factual, engaging, and age-appropriate information so they can make informed choices and resist peer pressure.

“The goal is to reach kids before the dealers do,” said Julie Brinker, Ambassador for Drug-Free Tennessee. “By giving them the facts in a way that’s easy to understand, they’re more likely to say no when someone offers them something dangerous.”

At the close of the event, each youth took a personal pledge to live a drug-free life, signing a poster to mark their commitment. The pledge served not only as a reminder of the day’s lessons but as a promise to themselves, their families, and their teammates to stay healthy and focused on a brighter future.

Drug-Free Tennessee works year-round to bring drug education and prevention to communities across the state through school programs, community events, and partnerships with youth groups. The group utilizes the Truth About Drugs program developed by Foundation for a Drug-Free World, a nonprofit organization that has distributed millions of booklets globally.

Bangkok, Thailand, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, On 27 May 2025, at IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Centre, Muang Thong Thani, Mr. Pichai Naripthaphan, Minister of Commerce, presided over the official opening of THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA 2025, Asia’s leading food and beverage trade show. The event offers a unique opportunity for businesses to explore cutting-edge food innovations from around the world, engage in trade negotiations, and reaffirm Thailand’s position as a global leader in the food industry under the “Thai Kitchen to the World” policy. The show is jointly organized by the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) of Ministry of Commerce, Thai Chamber of Commerce, and Koelnmesse Germany.

Mr.Pichai Naripthaphan, Minister of Commerce stated that Thailand has long been globally recognized for its strengths in the food industry—from the abundance and diversity of raw materials to its rich natural resources and unique culinary culture. With these advantages, the government has continuously driven forward the “Thai Kitchen to the World” policy to elevate the quality of Thai food to international standards. As a result, in 2024, Thailand was ranked as the 12th largest food exporter in the world, and the country’s export value in 2025 is projected to reach 1.75 trillion baht, representing a 6.8% increase from the previous year.

THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA serves as a key mechanism through which the Ministry of Commerce drives the development of Thailand’s food industry. Recognized as the fourth largest food and beverage trade show in the world, the event provides a vital platform for Thai food businesses of all sizes—from SMEs and startups to major corporations—to engage in trade negotiations, build international business partnerships, and expand their export opportunities in a tangible and impactful way.

This year’s edition of THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA has expanded significantly in both scale and participation. Over 3,200 companies from Thailand and 56 other countries are showcasing their products across more than 6,200 booths, covering every major segment of the food industry—from agricultural products and processed foods to food technologies and related innovations. The event is expected to welcome more than 90,000 trade visitors from 140 countries throughout the trade days, generating a projected trade value of over 98 billion baht, both in immediate orders and within one year following the event.

“The success of this event and the continued growth of the food industry clearly reflect Thailand’s potential to become a global hub for the food business and a trusted food reserve for the world,” said Mr. Pichai. “Thailand is well-equipped on all fronts—with world-class infrastructure, a strong business network, and steadfast government support. These elements play a vital role in building international confidence and positioning Thailand as a future global center for service industries.”

THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA 2025 will host trade days from 27–30 May 2025, from 10.00-18.00 hrs. and will open for both trade and public visitors on 31 May 2025, from 10.00-20.00 hrs. The event will take place at IMPACT Challenger Hall 1–3 and IMPACT Exhibition Center Hall 5–12, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani.

In addition to a comprehensive showcase of food and beverage products across all categories, the event features special exhibitions, seminars, and curated activities designed to update attendees on the latest food trends, shifting consumer demands, and other valuable industry insights—creating a fresh, forward-looking experience that supports business growth and long-term success.

New release from debut author Christie Sikora unveils the tragedy behind the triumph — and the truth behind the silence

Costa Mesa, CA, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The world came to Munich in 1972 to witness dreams come true. What unfolded instead was a tragedy that shook global consciousness — and left behind questions that have remained unanswered for over fifty years.

In her groundbreaking debut, BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace, Christie Sikora revisits the darkest day in Olympic history with one goal: to reveal the truth — and offer a path toward understanding.

Based entirely on factual truths, BLOOD and GOLD is not just a history lesson — it’s a mirror. Through investigative depth and emotional clarity, Sikora reveals the personal stories, political decisions, and human consequences that converged in Munich. Her mission is clear: to bring light where silence once stood.

“BLOOD and GOLD is not a book about blame,” says Sikora. “It’s a book about accountability, empathy, and awakening. It’s about the lives that were shattered, the voices that were ignored, and the lessons that still haven’t been learned.”

The book explores:

• The historical context that led to the tragedy
• The political missteps and ignored warnings
• The athletes and families caught in the crossfire
• And the urgent need for global peace, personal healing, and deeper truth

Sikora’s work challenges the black-and-white narratives that have dominated for decades, instead presenting a deeply human, powerfully nuanced account. She offers hope — not through idealism, but through courage, conversation, and clarity.

Every purchase of BLOOD and GOLD supports change:

• A $0.25 donation goes to Doctors Without Borders, delivering critical medical aid to crisis zones.
• A $0.25 contribution supports Dynamism to Peace International Foundation, funding trauma recovery programs for women, children, and survivors of violence worldwide.

About the Author

Christie Sikora writes with a voice that is bold, unflinching, and guided by compassion. BLOOD and GOLD is the culmination of years of research, advocacy, and soul-searching — and is already being called a “blueprint for global empathy.” Her goal is to transform not just how we remember, but how we move forward.

Where to Find It

BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace is now available at authorchristiesikora.com, Barnes & Noble, and select retailers. A nationwide tour of signings, interviews, and online panels will accompany the release.

With the global AI market projected to grow 11× to $2.74 trillion by 2032 (PwC), a new frontier is emerging. Tearline is among the first to turn this convergence into a live, productized reality.

British Virgin Islands, BVI, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, ChatPilot—Tearline’s flagship AI chatbot—is proving that intelligent automation is no longer theoretical. Representing a new class of agentic tools, ChatPilot transforms user intent into real on-chain actions through natural language, eliminating traditional Web3 friction.

 

A Production-Ready AI Chatbot at Scale

While many AI-in-Web3 efforts remain in prototype stages, ChatPilot is live and operational across multiple ecosystems. Originally launched on TON via Telegram’s mini-app interface, the chatbot has rapidly expanded to support both BNB Chain and Sui networks.

To date, ChatPilot has processed over 2.5 million user interactions with daily active usage continuing to grow. As a conversational interface, ChatPilot allows users to perform essential Web3 functions—wallet activation, token swaps, staking, and NFT minting—without ever touching a dApp UI.

Built with execution in mind, the chatbot boasts a >95% task success rate, ensuring not just seamless communication but reliable, high-accuracy on-chain execution.

Powered by Advanced LLMs for a Low-Barrier Web3 Journey

ChatPilot is a specialized Web3 AI chatbot, expertly designed to lower the barriers to entry in the Web3 ecosystem by understanding traders’ intent and facilitating a wide range of crypto trading operations. Unlike generic AI chatbots focused solely on dialogue, ChatPilot is architected for execution within the Web3 vertical. Its sophisticated multi-LLM hybrid stack incorporates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multilingual support, and context-sensitive memory, allowing users to interact with the system using natural language.

This powerful framework enables ChatPilot to accurately interpret user intent and assist in complex blockchain operations such as token swaps, smart contract deployment, and interaction with DeFi protocols. By providing robust support within its defined scope, ChatPilot empowers users to navigate the intricacies of crypto trading with ease and confidence. While it does not automate actions beyond its operational frontier, it acts as a stable agent layer within the decentralized stack, offering a programmable interface that seamlessly integrates with logic.

Incentive-Driven Usage: AI That Rewards Participation

A key driver of ChatPilot’s rapid user growth is its built-in compute-based incentive model. Users are rewarded for performing meaningful actions—minting, bridging, swapping—with rewards calculated and distributed via Tearline’s incentive engine. This approach transforms user interaction into measurable economic activity.

Node operators and contributors can monetise compute resources and task logic while maintaining full on-chain transparency. The result is a robust, self-sustaining incentive loop that fosters both user retention and network growth, rare among AI tools in the decentralised space.

Beyond ChatPilot: A Growing Agent Ecosystem

Tearline’s roadmap extends well beyond ChatPilot. Its multi-agent architecture is already powering new products across both Web2 and Web3 surfaces:

• GhostDriver:A browser automation agent that processed 400K+ requests that automates website tasks and execution, bridging the gap between centralised and decentralised interactions.

• FlowAgent: A newly launched task orchestrator enabling multi-agent coordination and smart contract execution.

Each product is built atop the same intent-to-execution logic stack that powers ChatPilot, positioning Tearline as a leading force in the emerging agent economy.

As AI reshapes how users interact with blockchains, Tearline is not just deploying AI chatbots—it’s scaling intelligent automation as infrastructure. In a space crowded with demos, Tearline delivers usage. And usage is what scales blockspace, and long-term value.

About Tearline

Tearline is a full-chain AI agent platform that transforms user intentions into seamless on-chain execution. Through advanced multi-agent coordination, composable workflows, and an evolving incentive economy, Tearline enables the next generation of autonomous, intelligent, and reliable Web3 infrastructure. Its growing product suite includes:

• ChatPilot – An intent-centric AI chatbot deployed on BNB Chain, Sui and TON, streamlining user onboarding and on-chain actions via natural language.

• GhostDriver – An execution-focused agent that automates web-based tasks across both Web2 and Web3 environments.

• FlowAgent – A programmable multi-agent platform designed for decentralized coordination, supporting complex cross-agent workflows.

Michigan, US, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The social media landscape is undergoing a dramatic shift, and according to veteran marketing strategist Augustus Kirby, brands that cling to the “big four” platforms risk becoming irrelevant. Kirby argues that marketers must pivot now or be left behind as the online ecosystem fractures into smaller, highly engaged communities.

“Social media is not dying. It is evolving,” says Kirby, who has helped companies from New York City to Singapore recalibrate their digital strategies. “The days when a single message on Facebook or Instagram could reliably drive mass engagement are over. People are looking for spaces that feel personal, authentic, and aligned with their values. That’s where niche platforms come in.”

Kirby points to the explosive growth of platforms like Discord, Geneva, Mastodon, and Substack, where users gather in interest-driven communities, from indie game developers to plant-based chefs. These platforms do not necessarily rival TikTok or X in user numbers, but they offer what the big platforms no longer can: trust, intimacy, and genuine dialogue.

The End of “One-Size-Fits-All” Marketing

“Marketers have spent years optimizing content for algorithms instead of people,” Kirby says. “But now users are pushing back. They’re choosing places where the content feels curated and the community feels real.”

According to recent data from Nielsen and Emarketer, engagement rates on niche platforms outperform those on mainstream networks, especially in categories like fitness, finance, and sustainability. Kirby believes this trend will only accelerate as consumers grow weary of algorithmic feeds, bot interactions, and endless ads.

In Kirby’s view, the splintering of social media marks a return to marketing’s roots, where word of mouth, community, and reputation were paramount.

New York City Brands Are Already Adapting

“Some of the most exciting work I’ve seen is coming out of small NYC brands that are skipping Facebook entirely,” Kirby notes. “They’re building Discord servers for product feedback, using Patreon to reward superfans, and hosting Substack newsletters that double as customer loyalty programs. That’s the future.”

Augustus Kirby says the shift is significant in a city like New York, where hyperlocal communities and diverse identities shape consumer behaviour. “A coffee roaster in Brooklyn can find a cult following on Reddit before ever running an ad on Meta. That’s power. That’s precision.”

Navigating the Shift: What Brands Must Do Now

Kirby offers three key recommendations for marketers looking to navigate the current fragmentation:

1. Invest in Listening
   “Before you create a single piece of content, find where your audience already gathers,” says Kirby. “It might not be Instagram. It might be a Slack group or a Reddit thread.”

2. Treat Content as Conversation
   “Forget polished brand voice. Niche platforms reward honesty and imperfection. You’re not broadcasting, you’re participating.”

3. Redefine ROI
   “Metrics like impressions and likes are outdated. Look for deeper signals, retention, referrals, user-generated content, and brand sentiment.”

AI Alone Won’t Solve It

While Kirby strongly advocates AI in marketing, he warns against overreliance on automation in this new landscape. “AI can generate content and analyze patterns, but can’t replace genuine human interaction. If your brand feels like a bot, people will tune you out. Fast.”

Instead, he recommends using AI to augment community engagement efforts, not replace them. Tools that help moderate discussions, personalize messages, or analyze niche trends can be game changers if used wisely.

The Future Is Fragmented, And That’s a Good Thing

Kirby believes this splintering is an opportunity, not a threat. “Marketing used to be about shouting louder. Now it’s about speaking softer to the right people in the right room. And those rooms are no longer on Facebook.”

As more brands shift their energy from mass reach to meaningful relationships, Kirby is confident that niche platforms will define the next marketing chapter, from downtown NYC to digital corners across the globe.

“Big isn’t always better,” he says. “Smaller, smarter, and more sincere, that’s where the magic is happening.”

Michigan, US, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Transformation often begins with a challenge, a roadblock, or even a deeply personal struggle. For Dr. Airica Steed, the former CEO of MetroHealth, life’s adversities have been a source of growth, purpose, and change. A trailblazer in the healthcare industry, Dr. Steed’s story is one of resilience, empowerment, and a conscious choice to convert hardships into meaningful action.

As we reflect on her remarkable career and personal philosophy, we discover not just a story of accomplishment but a blueprint for anyone striving to turn pain into purpose. Here, we’ll explore Dr. Steed’s inspiring example and share actionable advice for creating a purposeful life.

A Career Built on Resilience

Dr. Airica Steed’s professional path has been nothing short of groundbreaking. From her leadership at MetroHealth to advocating for health equity on a national scale, her career reflects a deep commitment to fostering positive change. Her work has transformed organizations and empowered communities, but it didn’t come without obstacles.

Facing systemic challenges and personal setbacks, Dr. Steed chose to see every difficulty as an opportunity. She embraced resilience as a process of reflection, growth, and action. This mindset enabled her to tackle healthcare disparities, implement innovative leadership practices, and positively impact countless lives.

At MetroHealth, Dr. Airica Steed proved how purpose-driven leadership could make a tangible difference. She reimagined healthcare service delivery models and championed access to care for underserved populations, turning what might feel like insurmountable barriers into stepping stones for progress.

But her resilience wasn’t born in comfort. It was forged in pain.

Dr. Airica Steed has faced the unimaginable — nearly losing her life not once, but twice due to preeclampsia, a pregnancy-related complication that disproportionately affects Black women and is often misdiagnosed or overlooked due to implicit bias and systemic inequities. These traumatic, near-death experiences were not only medical crises — they were harsh reminders of the very disparities she fights against. They brought her face-to-face with the broken systems she has since dedicated her life to transforming.

Her pain doesn’t end there. She has endured deep personal loss and significant professional adversity, including recent, high-profile career setbacks that could have shattered her spirit. Yet each experience became fuel — not for bitterness, but for bold action. These trials intensified her commitment to equity and emboldened her leadership, transforming scars into sources of power.

Lessons on Turning Pain into Purpose

Dr. Steed’s story isn’t just inspiring; it’s instructive. Her approach to hardship offers valuable lessons for anyone looking to find meaning amid struggles and pursue their own purpose. Here are some of the strategies that guided Dr. Airica Steed and can guide you as well.

1. Acknowledge and Reflect on Your Experiences

The first step on the path from pain to purpose is acknowledging the challenges you’ve faced. Pain often teaches lessons that can shape your perspective and actions. Ask yourself:

• What have I learned from these experiences?
• How can I use those lessons to redefine my goals?

Dr. Airica Steed emphasizes that self-reflection was foundational to her resilience. By examining moments of hardship — including those when her own life hung in the balance — she uncovered the values that would fuel her mission and shape her contributions.

2. Transform Adversity into Meaning

Purpose is born when we find meaning in our struggles. Consider how your experiences could be leveraged to make a positive difference, whether through service, advocacy, or support for others facing similar challenges. Turning outward can transform pain into a powerful motivator.

For Dr. Airica Steed, addressing healthcare inequities became a way to channel her hardships into something profoundly impactful. By dedicating herself to advancing equity — especially for women of color navigating maternal health crises — she not only found purpose but created ripples of change that extended far beyond her immediate influence.

3. Take Action Toward Your Purpose

Action is the bridge between intent and outcome. Once you’ve identified what matters most to you, break your purpose into actionable steps. Start with small, tangible goals, and build momentum over time.

Throughout her career, Dr. Steed took deliberate actions aligned with her purpose. From implementing inclusive healthcare policies to cultivating diverse leadership teams, every step advanced her broader vision of equity and transformation — a vision rooted not in theory, but in lived experience.

4. Build a Community of Support

Resilience doesn’t happen in isolation. Surrounding yourself with people who share your values and support your goals can be a vital source of strength. Collaborating with mentors, peers, and communities helps create a shared framework for success.

Dr. Airica Steed has always placed a strong emphasis on collective impact. Her ability to bring people together around a common purpose has not only amplified her efforts but also inspired others to take action. In moments of personal and professional hardship, that community became a lifeline — a source of healing and renewed resolve.

5. Celebrate Progress Along the Way

Purpose-driven work is often a long and evolving process. Recognize and celebrate the progress you make, no matter how small. Each milestone is a reminder of your strength and a motivator to continue forward.

Dr. Steed has made it a point to reflect on each achievement, viewing improvements in healthcare systems and patient outcomes as evidence of her purpose in action. This ongoing acknowledgment fuels her drive to keep pushing boundaries — despite the pain, and perhaps even because of it.

Why Purpose Matters

Turning pain into purpose is about more than personal fulfillment; it’s about creating lasting impact. By finding and pursuing your purpose, you not only transform your own life but contribute to the well-being of others.

Dr. Steed’s leadership demonstrates the far-reaching effects of a purpose-driven life. From reimagining how healthcare serves marginalized communities to shattering glass ceilings as the first Black female nurse CEO of MetroHealth, her legacy is one of resilience, empowerment, and systemic change.

And at the heart of that legacy are the losses she endured — and the courage it took to rise from them.

When your actions align with your values, they become a powerful catalyst for growth—not just for yourself but for those around you.

Final Thoughts

Dr. Airica Steed’s life offers a compelling example of how resilience and purpose can transform pain into something truly extraordinary. Her story reminds us that setbacks are not endings but beginnings, opportunities to reflect, grow, and take action.

Wherever you are in your own journey, the chance to turn pain into purpose is within your reach. Start by reflecting on your experiences, finding meaning in your challenges, and taking intentional steps toward a cause that resonates deeply with you. With resilience, community, and the courage to act, you can create a legacy of impact, just as Dr. Steed has.

Your greatest challenges have the potential to become your greatest strengths. Take the first step today and start turning your pain into a purpose that inspires change—not just for yourself, but for the world around you.
