KY-NDness Starts With Us: Jen Rowe Joins the Good Things Poddie
Loading player...
What if we were all just a little more careful with each other, a little more thoughtful with our words and a little quicker to check in on someone who might need us?
That is the message behind KY-ND, an initiative created by Jen Rowe in honour of her son, Ky, who died by suicide in August 2022.
Jen wanted to keep Ky’s kindness moving through the world, and it started with something incredibly simple: a bench at his school. The idea is that if you see someone sitting there alone, you sit next to them and just be there. Since then, KY-ND has grown into a community, with benches, T-shirts that start conversations and more than R55,000 raised for Operation Smile South Africa.
Jen joined me on this week’s Good Things with Brent Lindeque poddie to talk about Ky, grief, love and why our words and actions matter more than we may ever realise.
Her message is beautifully simple: notice people, check in, choose your words with care and, whenever you can, be a little more KY-ND.
