Yanise Ho is The Bladress. She has been rollerblading Across America with no money. This journey is a mission to prove that 
through love, everyone, regardless of their background, is deeply connected with one another. The world is encircled by natural masterpieces, vibrant cultures, and most of all, incredible people. However, these wonderful stories of love are often shrouded by the gloom-ridden news on crimes and disasters. She believes the best of humanity also deserves to be told, shared and preserved and have faith because when you act on faith, a world brimming with love, care, and trust is just not a fantasy, but a reality! In 2016, Yanise rollerbladed from Savannah to Miami (600 miles) for 19 days without money. At first, she knew nobody, but soon everyone became her family on the road! This time, she is undertaking a more challenging distance, 6,000 miles from Miami, to the Wild West, and then back to the East Coast. Not only does she yearn to prove the kindness of people, but she also founded #TheBladress Scholarship, through the charity One Girl Can, to raise funds for girls’ education in Kenya and Uganda.
Yanise shares how her mission to rollerblade across America with no money has helped her realized she can live with hope rather than fear and show others what is possible. Listen to her episode as she shares her amazing story.
