Scientists are working furiously these days on testing therapies and vaccines to treat the coronavirus, but it will take time and focused effort before they’re ready. In the meantime, we’re all wrestling with a lot of emotion. Fortunately, there is already a way to vaccinate ourselves against panic, anxiety, and selfishness. It’s called loving-kindness.

Sterling Chandler is a 16-year-old Photographer, Filmmaker & Music Creative from London. He has experienced social media from both ends of the scale, the highs and the lows. Today I talk with him about his story as well as the importance of being kind on social media during this time of uncertainty.

Sterling said “Social media is an amazing tool for artists and creators. I started off using Instagram to showcase my photography, now it has practically turned into my job. I love it! I feel that it is important to be kind in person and on social media everyday, with or without a pandemic.”
