journal no. 001
Hello internet.
Whether you know me or not, allow me to (re) introduce myself: My name is Joe Gooding and my only goal in life is to make the world a better place for us all to live in.
The past few years since I’ve published an entry on my previous blog ‘the BEAU’ have been intensely transformative and 2020 in particular put my whole existence into perspective, forcing myself to ask: What do I want out of life?
The answer came to me in an instant: I want to be a part of something bigger than myself.
Social justice has always been an undercurrent in my life and when I think of the moments that have brought me the most joy in my 28 years, they’re more often than not moments where I contributed to making an impact as a global citizen.
With my little corner of the world wide web, I want to use my talents and influence to inspire people to take action around the shit that truly matters (and have a little in fun doing so). Here you’ll find articles on everything I’m passionate about: wellness, social justice, beauty and music.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey in making meaningful change, because I know that together we can truly make a difference.
