This is the heart behind One People.

Our founder, Lily Howard, shares the personal story that inspired this mission — and the vision and values guiding our way forward.

This video is longer than a quick intro — and that’s intentional.

We wanted to share the full story and vision behind One People. If you’re curious or feeling a spark of alignment, this gives a fuller picture of what we’re building and why. (And don’t worry – this isn’t the long version. Lily could go on for hours!)
