“Peace is not something you wish for, it is something you make, something you are, something you do and something you give away.” ― Robert Fulghum
Every little step towards the attainment of peace makes a huge impact on humanity. The idea behind TAPN2U is our interconnectedness- our Oneness. As we unite as one, the world will be a better place with peace reigning in our hearts first and foremost. TAPN2U is all about tapping into our own potentials, utilizing our talents and gifts to give back to humanity and beingstalwarts of change in the world.
“Dr. Anita’s journey parallels that of the alchemist, driven by a quest to understand her relationship with the Creator, Universe, and humanity. Her exploration of Metaphysics stemmed from a compassion for the downtrodden and a quest to comprehend theworld’s sadness, leading her to believe in the inherent presence of God within individuals. Through experiences like her work in a local prison, where she discovered latent talents in inmates, Dr. Anita formulated the TAPN2U Movement. This movement emphasizes deepening self-awareness, recognizing interconnectedness, and utilizing understanding, love, wisdom, and thought healing to achieve inner peace and contributeto collective harmony. Dr. Anita’s lifelong commitment to these principles suggests the TAPN2U Movement is a manifestation of her purpose, echoing the sentiment of fostering peace within oneself and thereby in the world.”
What brought about the noble global initiative? On Oct. 9, 2021, at 0900 which happened worldwide, the ALL-Ladies League ~ Oneness & Wisdom walked 2 miles for Peace. To this day, Dr. Anita Caprice Powell, Msc.D. believes that there is still within the Truth Center of her Heart, our Energy which flows throughout this planet and the Universe.
The next year, March 14, 2022, they began a Global 12-month Movement as TAPN2U Peace Partners. February 13, 2023, marked their 12 th month and started the TAPN2U Peace Movementwhich was then represented by two countries. It has been a groundbreaking first year as they already have 13 Countries represented! Last year 2023, they started with 11 Countries.
And the dynamic Movement continues up to this day. They began again on March 13, 2023, and continued until February 12, 2024, this year. On March 11, 2024, they continued with the Peace Partner Movement, this time it’s a Sister Peace Partner Movement, representing 12 Countries:
Albania
Grenada
Chile
Trinidad & Tobago
France
Pakistan
Hungary
United Kingdom
India
United States of America
Spain
Philippines
When asked what prompted her to organize the movement, her vision, and the kind of fulfillment her advocacy gives her, Dr. Anita C. Powell, Msc.D.., Founder of TAPN2U answered: “The motivation within the TAPN2U Movement was and still is to make a difference in challenges like loneliness, depression, and hopelessness through promoting inner peace and self-awareness. By advocating for cognitive restructuring and spiritual growth, the focus is to offer a path to thought healing and empowerment. Recognizing the interconnectedness of individuals and the presence of Divine essence within each person, the inspiration is to provide hope and encouragement, emphasizing that no one is truly alone. Its vision of a world where individuals practice daily thought awareness of peace, love contributes to a collective of emotional world healing, influencing our global community. Fostering a unified consciousness focused on healing and love, the movement aims to improve individual lives and contribute to global peace. The anecdote of a 16-year-old praying for world peace highlights the timeless yearning for a better world and the significance of movements like TAPN2U.
As we continue to share the message, cultivate inner peace, advocating world peace, may our efforts touch many lives, leading to a more peaceful, loving, and compassionate world.
Let there be a release of Peace, Hope, Love and let it flow from within me.”

TAPN2U Movement, LLC’s New Project:
TAPN2U Movement, LLC has a new exciting project: “12 Months to Vision Peace” for only 6 minutes, starting March 13th. On the second Monday of each month, at 10:00 pm, for 6 minutes, participants are to think on Peace. During those 6 minutes, whatever way resonates with them – meditate, contemplate, pray, listen to music, share dialogue, dance – whatever one wants to do just do You, and for those 6 minutes – think on Peace.

Met the ambassadors of peace all around the world.
An incredible experience! My efforts are to minimize the impact of extremism related to racism, religious hatred, violence against women and children, war against bigotry attitudes towards the oppressed people, the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life: religious/racial bigotry.
