Why Ripples Matter
The idea for Ripples of Sunshine began in 2023 during what many described as a loneliness epidemic. As Dr. Gina Anderson scrolled through social media, she noticed its impact, not just on the world, but on herself. Instead of feeling connected, she felt more overwhelmed, more disconnected, and less hopeful.
As a learning scientist and the co-founder of Luma Brighter Learning, Dr. Anderson understood a simple but powerful truth: small, positive moments can change how we feel and even rewire our brains over time.
She founded Ripples of Sunshine because beautiful moments of encouragement, connection, and joy aren’t trivial. They shape our emotions, our thinking, and our sense of belonging.
What if we made beautiful moments of connection intentional? What if everyone joined in, creating simple ripples of positivity that help each other feel better, one moment at a time?
That question became Ripples of Sunshine, a movement that blossomed through a partnership with Luma Brighter Learning, a company that also believes deeply in the power of connection. Their mission is simple: to ignite authentic human connection through learning because connection changes and saves lives.
