Welcome to “Act of Kindness: Connecting Through Caring” with Debra Lee Fader, best selling author of “The Keys to Authenticity.”
Affectionately known as “Deb” by her friends and coined “The Queen of Kindness” by her readers, Debra Lee reminds us that at the core, whether we are entrepreneurs, brand aficionados, or simply…human, we don’t care how much you know, we care how much you care.
Nearly 20 years ago, Deb was diagnosed with Primary-Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, a debilitating disease that can rob anyone of their kindness without anyone finding much fault with their reasoning. However, despite having every excuse to turn bitter and cold, Debra researched and examined practices and actionable methods to create a life of kindness around her.
