Inclusivity is important because everyone deserves to feel like they belong — regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality, or identity. We live in a society with these “rules” that are set out for us before we’re born and your value is based on where you “fit” into society. We’re told that only thinness, whiteness, and proximity to whiteness is what beauty is, so every day, I work toward breaking that stereotypical beauty mold. That’s why an inclusive beauty campaign is everything to me — it makes me feel like I fit in, that I belong. People need to know that they’re valued, beautiful, and that they deserve access.
