Spreading Positivity: Rizz Inspires Reno Students to Harness the Power of Kindness and Gratitude

(PRUnderground) December 3rd, 2024

This winter, local Reno schools will receive a special visit from Rizz, the founder of the Make ‘Em Smile Foundation and frontman of the reggae-rock band Rizz & the Believerz. As part of his “Kindness Is a Superpower” initiative, Rizz is bringing his message of kindness and self-empowerment directly to students, encouraging them to embrace their unique strengths while spreading kindness to others.

During his visits, Rizz will distribute “kindness cards” to students, which serve as reminders of the power of kindness and gratitude. The cards encourage children to take care of themselves first—through gratitude and self-compassion—before extending kindness to others.

“Kindness isn’t just something we do for others; it’s a way to uplift ourselves as well,” Rizz shared. “By embracing our own superpowers, we can make a real difference in the world.”

The school visits are part of a larger effort to inspire a new generation to understand that small acts of kindness can lead to big changes in their communities.
