Equality Advocate & Author; Founder & President of World Unity Inc.; Creator of the "Sun Poem"; TEDx Speaker
Sara Ting Biography
Sara Ting is a first-generation Chinese American diversity and inclusion educator, speaker, author, and consultant whose career spans nearly four decades in equality and social cohesion. Ting is known as the author of the "Sun Poem," a piece of writing that became central to her mission. Her activism to advance equality began with the Sun Poem, which later served as the foundation for citywide multimedia public service campaigns promoting racial and ethnic harmony in Boston, New York City, and Providence, Rhode Island.
Ting delivered a TEDx Talk about the Sun Poem and is the founder and president of World Unity Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading the message of equality and raising self-awareness through the Sun Poem. The organization works to eliminate racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, and bias. World Unity Inc. has collaborated with businesses, schools, and government agencies to promote understanding and cooperation among diverse populations.
As an author and speaker, Ting's work reaches boardrooms, classrooms, and law enforcement agencies. Her book, "Small Book with a Big Idea: 5-Minute Training to Empower You and Transform Our World," has been used by colleges, government institutions, and corporations. Ting has also written "The Power of Listening in a World of Differences" and "The Key to a Fulfilling Life: Self-Awareness." Her story and mission have been featured on NPR's "All Things Considered."
Under Ting's leadership, World Unity Inc. has launched initiatives inspired by the Sun Poem, including "Singing Equality Across America and Around the World," public service announcements, national campaigns, leadership workshops, and creative projects promoting unity. Ting designed a diversity and inclusion workshop using poetry, presenting it to organizations across the United States, and served as a poet-in-residence for 20 years, teaching elementary students poetry and using the Sun Poem to teach about equality.
Ting has received recognition for her work in equality and inclusion, including honors from a governor and the state senate. World Unity Inc. promotes her TEDx Talk as a DEI resource, and organizations such as AECOM and Midwestern University have adopted it for their digital platforms. Ting's vision for a World Unity Landmark to showcase the Sun Poem continues to guide her advocacy for equality and inclusion globally.
