Orly Wahba
Orly Wahba is an educator, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, author and community activist, passionate about inspiring and motivating people to make the world a kinder place. Orly began her career in kindness as a middle school educator at the Yeshivah of Flatbush in Brooklyn, New York, teaching the children to embrace unity, build their self-esteem, and use the power they have to influence the world for good.
Yearning to make a larger impact with her philanthropic work, Orly founded Life Vest Inside——a non-profit organization with a mission to empower and unite the world with kindness——in 2011. Through Life Vest Inside, Orly encourages people to embrace the incredible power of giving and recognize that in times of hardship, kindness——like a life vest——keeps the world afloat.
Life Vest Inside gained international acclaim when Orly's award-winning film Kindness Boomerang went viral, receiving over 30 million views, landing her a spot at TED2013, where she presented a talk on the magic of kindness. Orly and her work have been featured on The Today Show, CBS, NBC, Bloomberg TV among others.
Orly's first book Kindness Boomerang: How to Save the World (and Yourself) Through 365 Daily Acts was released in January 2017 and serves as a lesson-a-day guide to living a kinder, happier life. Her cross country Kindness Boomerang tour was a huge success, delivering over 50 talks in a 5 week period. The mission: to spread kindness & foster positive dialogue. Orly created and runs Dance for Kindness, an annual global event uniting people in over 50 countries, 120 cities under the banner of kindness. It is Orly's belief that "we are all unique, significant and special in our own way——each of us with something to contribute to this wonderful world that only we can give."
Orly attended Trapeze School NYC, directed community theater, plays drums and piano, figure skates, plays basketball, softball and is a mean ping pong player. She also has hopes and dreams of infusing positive change in the political arena by focusing on ethics, character and values.
Orly serves on the Board of The Pay it Forward Foundation and the Brooklyn College Foundation. Orly received her BA in Film Production and English from Brooklyn College, and her MA in Jewish History from Touro College.
