FROM THE STREETS OF NYC TO A NEW CHAPTER. BE MIGHTY MANGA IS COMING.
The BE MIGHTY Project

A nudge.
A little courage.
A way forward.

The BE MIGHTY Project posts flyers all around NYC with quotes of inspiration, wisdom and motivation on each tab that connect with passersby. I hope they plant seeds of seeking, strength and courage in people around New York and beyond.

The goal of the BE MIGHTY Project is to reach everyone in need of a little nudge into action — to help them find their own path towards their dreams and give them advice in overcoming their own obstacles & challenges.

Spreading inspiration and words of wisdom by encouraging action in others in anonymous ways helps build a more enlightened society, people and culture. It inspires the dream makers and risk takers while also giving confidence and inspiration to those underserved, hiding in the shadows, in need of an encouraging nudge of support.

Where it began.

I started the project in May 2015. Sharing positive thoughts through anonymous flyers became a practice that helped me through a difficult time in my personal and professional life, and connected with people passing by on the streets of New York.

A small action can be a beginning: taking a tab from a flyer, sharing a quote, or passing a few words of encouragement on to someone else.

The story before the flyers.

The BE MIGHTY manga is a graphic memoir about my journey from artist to inventor, the building of Dynomighty, and the experiences that eventually led me to put those words out on the street.

A little paper.
A mighty ripple.

A little nudge into action. A few words to help someone find their own path towards their dreams, or the courage to overcome an obstacle. Take what you need — and pass it on.
