The Enthusiasm of Sanela Diana Jenkins
Izvor: KiWi
It's tough to find good individuals on the planet today. One look at tv and other sponsors media would suggest that the upper classes are completely concerned with peering into the mirror, and are totally lacking interest in anything beyond their own self-aggrandizement. Isn't really that completion outcome of money? Corruption, down to the bones, and popularity is certainly no assistance either, as evidenced by truth tv and the effect it has actually had on various people and families.
Do not despair, though; there are a lot of redeeming examples out there, among them Diana Jenkins. Philanthropist, activist, entrepreneur, immigrant, refugee, and mom, Sanela Diana Jenkins has championed a host of causes over the years; at the heart of those causes is a belief in standard human decency and the relevance of helping those in need-- as she herself was once significantly in need.
When you think about Diana Jenkins, "foundation" is a world securely connected with her. Having founded the Irnis Catic Foundation, in memory of her brother, Jenkins is involved with maybe the most famous and revered Bosnian foundation. Diana Jenkins is herself from Sarajevo, and became a refugee in 1992 after war erupted between Serbs and Croats. She has frequently worked with the Elton John AIDS Foundation board of directors to raise funds to fight AIDS.
Just a few years ago, she assisted release Room 23 by Diana Jenkins and Deborah Anderson, a series of photographs showing celebrities in intimate situations in a single penthouse suite. The coffee table book, meant to be a book of art and reflection, was launched to raise funds for the Sanela Diana Jenkins UCLA human rights organization SDJIHRP.
It's interesting to examine how Jenkins leverages her wealth and celebrity, as well as the celebrity status of others, in an effort to help others. It is not unjust to question the very concept of celebrity in our society; we appear to raise others above ourselves almost due to the fact that we need to, since we wish to. We want idols to worship then pull down, and on the other hand individuals grow unbelievably well-off over our ever-expanding national obsession.
Why be obsessed with these individuals, though? They're stars and starlets, mainly. A couple of scions of affluent households, a few business owners, however no one specifically unique. Wealth attracts us, for sure; this is America, after all, and money is in our blood. More particularly, the need for wealth is, and we need to own up to that part of our nature. Yet in Sanela Diana Jenkins, we see the chance for celebrity to become something more.
In Jenkins, we see the that celebrity doesn't need to be about the red carpet and wardrobe malfunctions; it doesn't need to be about who is dating whom, or the amount of so-and-so considers now. That's a sideshow, an additional sign of the decline of our civilization. In Jenkins, we see celebrity that is earned through helping others tirelessly, celebrity that doesn't mind making the most of others if it is to the benefit of those less lucky. We see a celebrity that is honorable.
