WHAT IS AN EVERYDAY HERO?
HEROES COME IN ALL SHAPES, SIZES AND COLORSHEROISM AND THE EVERYDAY
The word “hero” is one of those terms that everyone has an opinion about. Heroes come from myths and movies, from literature and history. But what about those heroes right in front of our eyes? What about the daughter who takes care of an aging parent? What about the little boy who saves his sister from an attacking dog?
Everyday life is filled with small challenges and little setbacks. It is the nature of life that most of our accomplishments, however small, are often unseen, noticed by nobody. A wise man once said “Live your life as if everyone is watching.”
Acts of kindness, selflessness, generosity and compassion are their own rewards. It is rare to read about bravery and love in our daily lives.

This is why The Sophia News publishes a regular feature called “Everyday Heroes.”
With “Everyday Heroes” The Sophia News began a series of articles that attempt to bring to light hidden acts of greatness, generosity and kindness. More than just typical feel-good stories, these profiles of people like Frank Miller, Susanna Tamaro, and Austin Perine, represent people acting out of a profound and humble sense of philanthropy that often includes innovative and original gestures that would make any contemporary artist proud.
The Sophia News is the only advertising-free publication in the world that profiles heroism, philanthropy and creativity. Created in 2014, The Sophia News has a global readership of people from the worlds of contemporary art, the humanities, philanthropy, and business. Today it has a readership of over 20,000 visitors per month.
