Watch the YouTube video here:

As the Senior Class Queen of my university, I’ve decided to use whatever influence I have to spread love and promote self-acceptance on campus.

I was inspired by Shea Glover to make a video, showing how students react to being called beautiful. Feel free to check her video out as well!

I was amazed to see how uncommon it was for my peers to be honestly complimented. It was almost as if, they had become so accustomed to insincerity or to people just seeing right through them as though they were invisible.
My Campaign is called “Black Love on Campus” because I attend a Historically Black University(HBCU). It is my aim, however, to project love into my immediate community. Matters not the race, age or gender. I want to enable self- love, and love for others at the core of every environment that I exist in.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who made this video possible:
K. Charlz
YawdyQuan
Kris Karz
And all the wonderful people who came out to assist me with “my project” even though they had no idea what I needed them for. You are all BEAUTIFUL beings!

Always remember; Love yourself, respect yourself and be good to yourself.
