“Knowing firsthand what it feels like to be bullied and the dark place it can leave you in, I knew there was another way to reach our youth and help turn their perception and self-value around.” These are words expressed by best-selling author, anti-bullying advocate, and founder of The Blatantly Honest Foundation, Makaila Nichols.
Nichols and The Blatantly Honest Foundation have partnered up with Celestis Inc. for an anti-bullying mission to the moon called “Operation Inclusion.” Victims of bullying across the world can take part in this mission by making a small donation and sending a picture. This picture will then be stored in a micro-SD card, and it will find its home aboard the Astrobotic’s Peregrine Lander, which will reside on the moon’s surface. The launch will take place on Cape Carnevale, Florida, and it will be available to live stream as well.
