“Brielle brings an incredible spark to every community she touches through her Smile Movement. Her energy is contagious, and the simple act of sharing a smile becomes something powerful—spreading kindness, building connection, and creating a sense of belonging. What makes her movement so special is how easily it fits into any social-emotional program. It’s not just a concept—it’s an action everyone can take part in, regardless of age. Whether in a classroom, hallway, or assembly, Brielle’s message lifts the entire environment and reminds us all that something as small as a smile can make a big difference.”

"Working with Brielle Neumann, founder of the Smile Stories Movement, was such a meaningful experience for our K-4 Ocean Avenue school community. Brielle helped us create a beautiful smile wall where each student shared—through pictures or words—what makes them smile. The activity encouraged students and staff alike to pause and reflect on the people, moments, and simple joys that matter most. The final result was incredible—funny, sweet, and deeply heartwarming. Having Brielle greet the students made it all the more special; students were inspired to meet the person behind the movement, and it turned into a lasting memory for all of us. We are so grateful for the positivity she brought to our school!”

“Brielle is exceptional in many ways, and she is a dream to work with. Organized, talented, energetic, and hardworking. As someone that likes to work with other people, I can't tell you how valuable it's been to have Brielle in my network. We’ve collaborated on different projects and initiatives and when I need a reliable thought partner, collaborator, or volunteer, I know I can ask Brielle. I appreciate having such a great go-to when I’m putting a team together!”
