Day 283: Make It Orange, Make It End

Yesterday people celebrated Unity Day by wearing orange. What is Unity Day, you may ask. It is a day created by the PACER organization to help end bullying. It is a day to come together to 'make it orange and make it end.' October, along with so many other things, is National Anti-Bullying Month. Although, Unity Day was yesterday I figured that it was never too late to help spread the word. Seeing as it is only half way through the month, I still encourage you to wear orange and make a difference. You can learn more about Unity Day and Pacer by reading this article. 
                                    
I found that this was fitting to do today too because tonight Stacy Nadeau spoke to several women at school. She shared her story about with working in the media and changing the way people viewed advertisement. For those of you who don't know, Dove launched a 'Real Beauty' campaign in 2005 with a billboard that featured six everyday women.  Stacy was one of those six brave women. She now speaks to women on college campuses about being happy in their own bodies, finding their true beauty and being confident in who they are. She even said, "When you truly accept yourself, no one can shake that." Not even bullies. We need more people like Stacy to help spread the word that everyone is beautiful just the way they are.

God bless,
