The Ren Effect

The Ren Effect was born from the mantra of multi-disciplinary artist and questionable human Ren Gill (@renmakesmusic). It is the idea that a single person can be moved by an act of kindness, and as they are lifted up, so too will they lift others in a rising tide. The Ren Effect invites people to open themselves up to new ideas and listen to those whose views differ from their own. Ultimately, it is a movement towards a more united world free from hate and greed. It is a reigniting of creativity, a reframing of thought, and the desire to just be a better person.

The Ren Effect inspired me to volunteer at my local homeless shelter, and it has given me a new understanding of the discrimination homeless people can face.
