SMALL MAGIC was actually born out of the 2016 election cycle. I realized that I didn’t like all the boxes people were being put into and I didn’t like all the separation that was happening around me. From Islamaphobia to Black Lives Matter, there was more and more of that “us” against “them” feeling and no one was doing anything about it. I’m determined to change that and the world around me. And SMALL MAGIC is the vehicle I choose to use to do so.

    The Small Magic Podcast- Interview with Jodi Pelletier

    The Small Magic Podcast- Interview with Jodi Pelletier

    Jodi Pelletier would say she is no one special. I disagree. Jodi is a teacher in the local Tampa Bay area and teaches second grade. I'd be willing to bet you that the eight learning challenged students whom she has taught would say she's pretty special too. 
    Jodi is not a special needs teacher. She does not have an organization backing her other than the elementary school she teaches at. What Jodi does have is heart and love and respect for other humans. Jodi has given her time to these kids and likely always will. 
    She's made a difference in their lives and they will be forever changed because of it. If I had a child in elementary school. I'd want Jodi to be his or her teacher. 

    She is what Small magic is all about. She didn't like the way something was so she just took it upon herself to make things better.
    Mission accomplished, Jodi. AND thank you for making a difference.
