If only people with large platforms actually used them to positively influence young minds instead of posting pictures with filters and botox to corrupt them into believing they should look just as fake themselves #NegativeBodyImage

Can influencers encourage a healthy body image, encourage education, encourage youngsters to not sit on their phones for hours and go outside or read? Instead of encouraging them to take diet pills and look unnatural with botox and photoshop!! Use your platform wisely #Influencer

So you think all lives matter but you're against protecting Black lives when they need protecting? All lives can't matter until Black lives matter #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter

'Why are Black people protesting?'
If it wasn't for protests and riots women still wouldn't have the right to vote...

It's so sad that Black people are having to fight this much for such basic human rights😔

White privilege is not undermining your struggles it's just stating that the colour of your skin is not one of those struggles #BlackLivesMattter #GeorgeFloyd #BlackOutTuesday #WhitePrivilege

It's not just a post
It's not just a story
It's raising awareness
Had these posts have not gone viral then would the awareness and activism have been this strong?

Many people click on social media before checking the news #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloyd #BlackOutDay2020

Black lives should have always mattered #BlackLivesMatter

I know the past few months have been hard and dispiriting. But watching the heightened activism of young people makes me hopeful. And if we can keep channeling our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action, this can be the moment when real change starts.
