Anne Taylor is a Co-Founder and Education Director for the One Love Learning Foundation whose mission is to help children remember who they were born to be. Anne is leading the development of programs, which meet curriculum standards and use technology platforms, to enable students in three schools in Jamaica, USA, and South Africa to learn with one another. These programs allow the students to share their stories with each other in an effort to celebrate diversity, while recognizing that everyone on the planet has their own special gift, discovering that we are all interconnected and interdependent as one global family. One Planet Earth. One Human Family. One Love.

Prior to One Love, Anne was an elementary school teacher at Bonaventure Meadows in London, Ontario, Canada, and Sope Creek in Atlanta, Georgia. Anne graduated with a degree in Zoology from the University of Western Ontario, Canada where she also went on to complete her teaching degree.

Anne is currently in the process of self-publishing her first photography coffee table book entitled, “The Essence of Muskoka”, which will be available this summer. The purpose of the book is to help people capture the magic of Ontario’s “cottage country” in their hearts, wherever they may be. She plans to eventually launch a line of “Essence” books for sacred places all over the planet.

Anne is also pursuing her ultimate dream of writing a series of children’s books, films, and multimedia programs that will inspire and empower children all over the planet to remember who they were born to be and to collectively remember that another world is truly possible.

Anne lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida with her husband, Paul, their three young sons, Kaden, Bodhi, Zad, and their two golden retrievers, Mackay and Marufu.
