Brazill-Taylor believes in living life to the fullest and daily seeks to help others reach their full potential. She aspires to serve with a deep humility and grace and to live a life filled with love and gratitude. She often tells the following story to illustrate the basis of Pass It Along's programs.
"There is a beautiful tradition that takes place in an African village," Brazill-Taylor said. "They believe that every human being comes into the world as Good, in search of love, acceptance, and happiness. Sometimes an individual looses their way, it is the belief that this simply is a cry for help. The Tribe responds by circling the person. They remind that individual of how amazing they are and love him/her to back to wholeness. This love is what drives me to the transformative work that Pass it Along does. It's a reminder of the significance and lasting affect that the power of love has. Every time that we are with another human being we are offered an opportunity to share the love and reflect back to them all the goodness that is in them. We all have goodness inside of us... sometimes it just takes someone to help remind us of that!"
