YouTube has launched a campaign called DearMe. Youtube is urging women to share advice they would give to their younger girls on this International Women’s Day March 8th.
'Dear Me' concept is meant to inspire and empower young girls everywhere in the world who may be struggling with similar issues, and YouTube is soliciting participation in the form of GIFs to be shared under the hash tag #DearMe.
On its dedicated web page youtube.tumblr, the effort makes this appeal: “Teenagers everywhere know that growing up is tough. But what advice and wisdom would you share with your younger self? You can’t send this GIF back in time, but you can share it with your friends and the world. It all starts with two words. Dear me.”
A video describing the campaign features appearances by popular celebrities, including actresses Felicia Day and Issa Rae and YouTube stars Lily Singh, Bunny Meyer and Michelle Pham.
Their“Dear Me” messages to their younger selves cover a range of problems, including body insecurity, grades, bullying, relationships and feeling like an outcast.
Their advice: Don’t follow the crowd. Don’t worry so much about not being liked by certain people. Stop trying so hard to be someone you’re not. Embrace your unique qualities. You are good enough.
Now, it's your turn to sit down with your former self. Write a letter in your journal, or even make your own #DearMe GIF in ww.YoutubeDearMe.com. After all, the most meaningful advice comes from the person who knows you best.
