In this powerful episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Arianna Rose and Soleil Laurent, the visionary founders of Equality Education, an organization redefining how emotional intelligence is taught across schools, communities, and organizations.

What began as a serendipitous friendship in Brooklyn during the pandemic has grown into a movement impacting over 100 New York City schools, partnering with major brands like Puma, Meta, NBC, and Bellevue Hospital, and placing more than 100,000 personal development workbooks into the hands of learners of all ages.

In this conversation, Arianna and Soleil share:

• Why emotional intelligence should be foundational in education—for students, parents, and leaders alike

• How self-agency and self-love create ripple effects that transform relationships, teams, and communities

• A deeply moving real-world story of how their affirmation tools helped a child in crisis

• Their thoughtful approach to responsible AI use, balancing technology with human development

• Practical encouragement for anyone who wants to create positive change—starting right where they are

This episode is a reminder that meaningful influence begins within. When we understand ourselves, we lead better, love better, and build stronger communities—together.
