We Are Empowered Campaign

Mackenzie Kuffenberae s senior at the University of Pittsburgh created a campaign to show that bullying comes in all forms. She says, "The idea is to share your story wit people who don't know you, but they know how you feel." She created a website where people can share their own personal stories about bullying. I found this to be a really inspiring campaign. Here are some pictures from the campaign. Click the source links to see more.empowered1

    This is such an incredible, empowering campaign. I love how it specifically states that his campaign proves that everyone struggles with bullying and that anyone can overcome it. This reminds me of the shared story and collective identity concept that we talked about in class. People are so scared to tell their own stories sometimes because "they think it only happens to them" or "no one else has to go through the pain that they experience." The thing is, people do go through a lot of the same experiences. I think this campaign does an excellent job of voicing those experiences so individuals understand that they are not alone. Because of that, I think it will encourage people to get help and end the bullying that they are forced to endure. In my opinion, this campaign is extremely empowering!
