Anatomy of Inspiration: Interview with Laura Miller – the Founder of Secret Agent L Project
Posted on 12. Oct, 2011 by Giedrius Ivanauskas.
Laura Miller aka Secret Agent L is the founder of Secret Agent L Project, the movement which encourages people to go and do little acts of kindness to brighten up the day for others. The SAL Project has blossomed into an international phenomenon of anonymous acts of kindness, with over 1,800 Affiliated Agents sharing in the fun and selflessness all over the world. Some of the countries that have participated in the project include Japan, Germany, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Australia. You can follow the Laura and SAL Project on Twitter and Facebook.
G: Tell us a little about your project?
L: The Secret Agent L project basically works as a collaborative effort of people all over the world who really want to make a difference through kindness. I started this project back in July of 2009 at the prompting of a friend who was out of state and was having a birthday. She said, "You know, Laura, I think that birthdays aren’t any fun, and I don’t like them. I just don’t want to have a birthday." I tend to disagree with that because I think birthdays are fantastic. I told her that I was going to send her a little gift for her birthday, and she said, "No, no, no, no. Don’t send me anything. Go and do a random act of kindness in my name. You can call yourself ‘Secret Agent L, All-Around Swell Chick and Girl Spy.’" I was like, "Oh, well, I love this. This is fun." I just ran with it. I decided to do a little anonymous act of kindness, take photos, call it a secret mission, put it up on a blog, and spread the word via social media.
