Episode 1: Animal Haven Shelter
The Project
I love being inspired and New York City is full of inspiring people.
Everyday heroes I call them.
I want to show you who these people are.
Be The Change Blog celebrates the volunteers, the “do-gooders,” the entrepreneurs, and organizations that are making New York City a better place.
So perhaps you and I will become more inspired to be everyday heroes ourselves.
Special Thanks
To Henry, Joyce, Bruce, and Warehouse Productions for constantly inspiring me to Pay it Forward.
To Jen Anderson for making this website.
To my music team.
To all my teachers.
To Jordan and my family.
Who I Am
My name is Risa.
I can tell you where all the great dessert places are in NYC.
I love love, chocolate, awkward comedies, and adventures.
I sing. I write. I act. I am looking to be inspired
