Trends May Come and Go—But Kindness Will Never Be Out of Style

Trends.

They light up our feeds, spark our creativity, and bring magic moments to the everyday.

From viral dances to AI art, from fidget spinners to bookish candles, trends have the power to bring people together. They create conversation, connection, and community. And sometimes, they even lead to powerful change.

Remember when everyone was sharing “Choose Kind” after Wonder captured hearts? Or when diverse dolls like Barbie’s Fashionista line showed up on shelves and got people talking about inclusion and disability representation? Those were more than trends—they were small steps forward—steps toward a world where everyone feels seen.

So yes, when I create a fun collectible “Author Starter Kit” with glasses, a fluffy dog, a laptop, and even my power chair—it’s playful. It’s a nod to the fun side of storytelling. It’s a celebration of creativity. But it’s also so much more.

Because the books I write and publish at Purple Diamond Press aren’t trends.

They’re timeless tools.

They’re emotional anchors.

They’re heart work.

The “What If We Were” Series: Rooted in Real Change

The What If We Were series wasn’t born from a trend. It was born from a calling—to show children that they matter just the way they are and to ask bold questions that help shape a better world.

• What If We Were All The Same! teaches acceptance, self-love, and celebrating our differences.

• What If We Were All Friends! invites readers to reach out with kindness, inclusion, and empathy.

• What If We Were All Kind! reminds us that one small act can create ripples of love.

• And soon, What If We Were All Generous! and What If We Were All Honest! will continue that journey, guiding children to become thoughtful, compassionate leaders of tomorrow.

  
  
  
  

  

  
  

These aren’t just books—they’re movements bound in paper.

They’re read in classrooms, discussed at dinner tables, and shared in libraries. They help children of all abilities, backgrounds, and identities feel seen. They spark questions like, “What makes me special?” “How can I be a better friend?” “Why should I tell the truth?”

And those questions? They don’t expire after a trend fades. They build character. They build humanity.

Trendy Moments, Timeless Messages

Yes, I’ll have fun with trends. I’ll dress up my brand. I’ll create collectible images, fun merch, and interactive social media moments. Because connection matters—and creativity matters.

But what I’ll never do is treat kindness like a costume.

I’ll never treat friendship like a fleeting moment.

And I’ll never stop writing stories that uplift, represent, and transform.

So while others chase the next big thing, I’ll stay rooted in the biggest thing of all: heart.

Because in a world that changes by the day, I want to build something that lasts for generations.

Stories that aren’t just trendy…

They’re true.

They’re necessary.

And they’re here to stay.

Let’s create more than moments. Let’s create meaning.
