I believe that stories hold great power. They can make us question our worldview. They can inspire us to take action. And most importantly, they can draw from us our deepest emotions. Stories have the incredible ability to make us feel uniquely human. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5dc0fb5239784504a0174cee/1572928385883/Obocho5.jpg Home - Testimonial Sasha & Obocho Peters “The GoFundMe Heroes podcast & video were so AMAZING! When my son Obocho heard his episode & saw his video, he played them over & over & over. The impact of it made tears fall from his eyes - that was a moment money just couldn't buy. Thank you Kelsea Little for the blessing of this opportunity.

Under this larger program umbrella sit many editorial channels through which these heroes’ stories are told: podcasts, written stories, live events, and more. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5ddde08cf7612e3d7b689a8e/1578168490766/DSC04289.jpg Projects - The GoFundMe Heroes Celebration In 2019, GoFundMe orchestrated its first ever public-facing live event, the GoFundMe Heroes Celebration. The GoFundMe community was prompted to nominate change-makers using the platform to make an impact in their communities. 5 finalists were chosen to be honored at an inspiring live event in San Francisco. Kelsea created and ran the entire live program. From the script, to the in-programming professionally produced mini-docs, to operating the realtime run of show — Kelsea helped bring the event to life for the live audience. GoFundMe provided branded tissues just in case of happy tears… they came in handy. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5ddde3b90c91bc6c3b701ade/1578168428346/kelseapod.jpg Projects - True Stories of Good People A longtime podcast fanatic, Kelsea pitched the idea of a branded podcast to GoFundMe that would showcase their inspiring campaign organizer stories in a fast-growing editorial format. The pilot season launched in July 2018 to excellent reception, and now a brand new episode is released every week. True Stories of Good People is a show about people who are making a difference in other people’s lives, or have had their lives changed by someone kind. From a teen who was kicked out of his home for being gay and now runs a nonprofit for marginalized youth, to an organization that helps reunite families who were separated at the border, to a young man who makes bowties for shelters dogs to help them get adopted faster, every episode of this podcast is guaranteed to make you cry… in a good way! Kelsea is the creator, producer and host of True Stories of Good People. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5e10d59185478a35281cdbd0/1578161560807/juliec.jpg Projects Listen to Kelsea’s interview with Immigrant Families Together founder Julie Schwietert-Collazo here. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5ea362e843e9054954f67be3/1587766000458/S2E17+Bryce+Dallas+Hward+and+Anna+Akbari+Pull+Quote.jpg Projects Listen to Kelsea’s interview with community activist Kofi Thomas here. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5ea362b1bf95f759bf53df01/1587765946122/S2E22+Seth+Owen+pull+quote.jpg Projects Listen to Kelsea’s interview with veterinarian Dr. Kwane Stewart here. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5e10eede08c15a57c82f657d/1578168344325/1_4aSYpvruDPR0xUpEsWCr1g.jpeg Projects - The GoFundMe Heroes Hub In 2019, Kelsea project managed the launch of a brand new part of the GoFundMe website, The GoFundMe Heroes Hub, the purpose of which was to create a centralized home for all of GoFundMe’s editorial content for the first time ever.

Do you have a specific strength or talent that isn’t being utilized? Tell someone about it! Make it known! Carve out some of your own time to create an example and get it in front of the people who need to see it.” - Kelsea Little, ShoutOut SoCal https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5dab224faffdb32b2416d51a/t/5e950d47dfe0ba5c79eaefa3/1586826582142/Screen+Shot+2020-04-13+at+6.05.19+PM.png Press - CBS San Diego “I was inspired by a couple of my friends who were raising money for their local food banks.
