La First Lady canadese Sophie Gregoire Trudeau promuove la campagna BE YOU GIRL per incoraggiare le ragazze ad essere finalmente se stesse vincendo i bombardamenti mediatici e le pressioni sociali su come agire, comportarsi ed apparire. Essere se stessi significa pensare in modo autonomo, non doversi per forza conformare, avere il coraggio di discostarsi da false certezze.
Riportiamo le sue parole su Instagram “sophiegregoiretrudeau”, 20 settembre 2018.
“What does it mean to “be you”? And how can we be ourselves when we are constantly bombarded with messages about how to act, look, and behave? I know there’s so much pressure to fit in… but worrying about fitting in is a waste of spirit and intelligence!
Yesterday we kicked off the BE YOU GIRL campaign in Ottawa, and I want to encourage you to love yourself as you are, get to know what you stand for – through work, friends, sports and getting out in nature. It’s ok to be scared, jump off that diving board to find change and adeveture”
