Bernadette Russell

Bernadette Russell is a British playwright, storyteller, and author, best known for her transformative year-long project in which she performed one act of kindness each day. This initiative, sparked by an impactful encounter with a young man in a post office during the London riots in 2011, profoundly changed her perspective on kindness and its ripple effects in society. Her journey led her to document her experiences and insights in her book, 'Conversations on Kindness,' where she explores the deep connections between empathy, human behavior, and the potential for kindness to foster change in the world. Russell believes that small acts of kindness can have a powerful impact, both on individuals and the broader community, and she continues to advocate for kindness as a means of healing and understanding in an often tumultuous world.
