A ~ OK! @ Sojourn Truth High School: Essex County Juvenile Detention Center

It's the little things, that make
 the greatest difference in the world...
Acts of Kindness ~ A-OK!
I sat down for a moment and tears of joy and appreciation began to flow. Although 30 consecutive Days of Acts of Kindness are completed, A-OK continues.

After reading The Star Ledger article, entitled In A Cold Month, His Kind Deeds Warm Hearts, written by Barry Carter,

determined teachers of the Sojourn Truth High School located within the Essex County Juvenile Detention Center invited Jemmie Adams and Denise Goodson to speak about the 30 Day journey of Acts of Kindness.

Barry Carter of The Star Ledger, explains why he decided to cover this unique story as students listened and asked questions. Our presentation, given during the Sojourn Truth Empathy Project focused on being Peaceful and Kind during the month of February.

Students were acknowledged with a certificate for displaying acts of Peacemaking among their peers. As music filled the air with Heal This Land I Call Home, by Eleanor Parker, Staff and male students began to praise dance.

Such an inspiring Event, which promotes world peace and positive change among the melting pot of our Human Race. The student body has accomplished the amazing task of making "Happy Signs" which are anti-gun and anti-violence quotes which will be hung throughout the City of Newark, NJ.

I am in awesome wonder, from the staff to the students the warm welcoming energy was felt. To our surprise, each of us were presented with a hand made gift. Their hospitality, will linger in our hearts forever.

A-OK! ~ Acts of Kindness ~ How To Help Over 465 People in 30 Days

Is Kindness the  key to a happy, healthy life? 
Are we actually attracting things we do not want into our lives? 

Author of Running With No Feet, Jemmie Adams, set out to embark on a 30 Day journey of Acts of Kindness. I am pleased to share this amazing story with you. A-OK has now touched over 500 people, and it is inspiring others to perform Acts of Kindness as well.

This phenomenal story has now been covered by media outlets including the Jersey Journal, The Star Ledger and News 12 NJ. 
 It all began after receiving a call from Author, Jemmie Adams, requesting assistance in helping 465 people within 30 Days. We, Swag Productions', are honored to be a part of such an inspirational project, reaching so many people regardless of status or ethnicity. I was astonished, yet intrigued to hear of such a remarkable journey. You could feel Jemmies' love for people, the human race.


A-OK has now spread to towns , such as, Jersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, Lyndhust and Newark, NJ. It has even reached cities out of state including Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. As well as Los Angeles,California.  

"Our greatest challenge,
became an accomplishment of our imaginations".
 Denise Goodson
 A~OK!






Jemmie Adams' decision to perform A-OK comes from his belief that we, the human race, are All Connected. Doing good for others, puts positive energy into the world which takes on a boomerang effect. If you have a habit or character trait that you would like to change, you must replace it with a positive one for at least 30 consecutive days.
