THANK YOU TO ALL RESIDENTS OF CHICAGO
FOR INSPIRING US WITH YOUR COLLECTIVE HUMANITY
AND REMARKABLE COMPASSION DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES COSETTE WILBURN is a humanitarian, teacher, author, marketing entrepreneur and co-founder of THE LUV INSTITUTE. Her commitment to nurturing human capital began as a teenager working under the guidance of her parents in the nursing home they owned in Illinois. There, she noticed the unhealthy impact of loneliness on the long-term well-being of the elderly residents and created Adopt A Grandparent Day as a way to address it. This strong foundation of caring for others lead to her ultimately creating the Love, Unity & Values Institute, (501 (c)(3) to actively work at reducing poverty among a target group of vulnerable children and young adults ages 11 to 24 at critical stages in their life. Through its programs and workshops, LUV helps build social-emotional learning, college and career readiness and job placement for young people in sustainable employment that reflects market demands.

Nicolaus Wilburn has worked with several non-profit initiatives and has an overwhelming passion for growth in this area. He brings over 9 years of experience in Marketing/Sales and Strategic Business Development to the company. Nicolaus is an alumni of Georgia State University with a double major in Biology/Pre-Med and Marketing, Nicolaus has utilized this knowledge to co-develop the youth driven website Thecycleofpeace.org This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
