Persistence Badge
Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well.
Back in September, we announced the Persistence badge in honor of Tazzie and the tremendous work she has given to our subcommunities during her time here on the site.
The subcommunities are a vital part of our community and are used as a means of support for all of you whenever you need it. It is a place where everyone can connect with others for friendships to be made, share the story of their journey, engage in activities through games and events, and more. And within those subcommunities, are leaders who have so generously and selflessly offered their time and efforts to keep these communities up and running. As a way of showing our appreciation to those leaders, we are officially launching the Subcommunity Leadership Appreciation Project. Beginning this month, members and listeners can nominate subcommunity leaders for the Persistence badge.
Persistence is one of the most important qualities a leader can possess. It’s what allows them to keep going when things are tough, to keep pushing forward even when they’re met with resistance. Persistent leaders never give up, and that’s what ultimately leads to their success. I believe that persistence is an essential quality for any leader. Those who are able to maintain their focus and determination in the face of adversity are the ones who ultimately achieve their goals. I admire leaders who are able to stay the course even when things are tough, and I believe that this quality is one of the key ingredients to success.
To start this project, I would like to highlight @Sunisshiningandsoareyou. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Sun in numerous subcommunity-related projects like the Needs Reply Team, Subcommunity Leadership, and Forum Moderation. Sun holds various roles in the subcommunity domain from Subcommunity Project Agent to Global Community Mentor. Many of you may see Sun in the community forums actively responding and supporting members and fellow listeners with their kindness and warmheartedness. There isn’t one post in the community where you won’t see Sun’s positivity on it!
Sun, I can’t think of anyone better than you to award the first Persistence badge for your outstanding work and contribution to our subcommunities. Thank you for everything that you do!
Please join me in congratulating Sun on this accomplishment!

I cannot thank y'all more for the sweetest messages, and having so much confidence in me, it truly means the world to me.
I don't think there's anything better than feeling genuine happiness and willing to be a part of someone's (someone on the internet?? Sorry but it really astonishes me day in and day out how selflessly caring and kind people here are always) happy moment. Y'all made it 1000 times more cherish-worthy for me and I'm simply grateful for all the love, warmth, kindness, encouragement and appreciation you offer me. Don't have any fancy words to say this currently, so I'll bold it for maximum emphasis lol: I am so so grateful to each one of you, and proud of our loving, caring, supportive, kind and appreciative community. It's people like *you* that inspire me and encourage me to keep at it, and so I'd like to think of this as a shared happy and proud moment, one for the entire community, and I really appreciate you being a part of this. It means a lot to me, again, from the bottom of my heart, Thank*you*. 🤧❤ (please feel the immense love and gratitude hehe)
