From Personal Conviction to Global Vision

The article goes on to describe how Sara Ting spent years building a career in diversity and inclusion training, but the pull of the Sun Poem’s universal message was irresistible. She made a bold decision to devote herself fully to World Unity Inc., believing the poem could reach hearts and minds far beyond corporate workshops. The poem’s transformation into a song in 2015 and its appearance on 27 billboards across America in 2021 validated her belief: “The world needs this,” one supporter wrote.

Ting’s path wasn’t without setbacks. After 16 years of effort, World Unity Inc. was finally approved to build the World Unity Landmark in a Boston park—a permanent installation of the Sun Poem. But the journey included delays, lost opportunities, and the challenge of sustaining momentum. Still, Ting’s resilience and unwavering belief in the poem’s power kept the mission alive.
