somebody’s baby is going to change the world.
We’re collecting ordinary evidence for how much people matter, sharing it as far and wide as possible, while practicing the art of being a good person.
What would change if we treated people like
they were once somebody’s baby, and still are?
What started as a little girl looking out of the car window wondering why people would honk at an elderly woman driving under the speed limit when they don’t know why she’s doing it, and with the haunting possibility that another little girl is at home hoping the world is being kind to her grandma, has grown up and become a philosophy. Everybody is somebody’s baby.
Why a baby?
Because whether you want to raise one or not, babies get the most of whatever tenderness, patience, care, and resources we have to offer. It’s where we all start, across time and place. Something profound happens when you look at a person and remember that they were once a baby and they’ve simply grown up.
What happens? What changes?
I’ve been asking myself this question my entire life. Now that I am a mother of 4, I am even more clear about my answer. I believe, everything changes. Everything. Not all at once. But one compassionate look, one generous thought, one dignifying act at a time will change ourselves, and the world!
Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m Toi, mother of four, wife, daughter, sister, cousin, neighbor, friend - somebody’s baby.
I’m interested in creating language for our lives, spaces where we feel remembered, and reminders that tenderness is still ours, even though we’re all grown up.
I believe that’s why i’m here.
