In today’s episode, Tess Cacciatore, creator of "Yumi’s Universe: Garden of Peace," shares the moving story behind her children’s book and animated film.
Inspired by a friend’s hospital tea ceremony, Tess crafted Yumi, a character who travels the world spreading peace and friendship. “It’s about teaching kids we’re all connected, no matter our differences,” she says, reflecting on Yumi’s journey through Japan, South Africa, and beyond.
Tess also discusses her longtime humanitarian work, including raising awareness about human trafficking—a hidden, multi-billion-dollar crisis affecting children globally. Like her storytelling, her advocacy focuses on healing trauma and building community.
Join us for a heartfelt talk on art, compassion, and making the world a better place.
