The campaign’s message of pursuing one’s passions and accepting one’s uniqueness resonated with me because it is something I try to do every day. I appreciated the wide variety of individuals included in the campaign, each with their own story and passion. It reminded me that no matter what one’s background is, we always an opportunity to pursue one’s passions actively.
