Social media is significantly linked to anxiety, depression, body image issues, and suicide, especially in young women. It’s time we change this. The #AsSheIs Instagram Challenge encourages us to be more vulnerable and unfiltered on social media. Women around the globe have participated, sharing their stories around mental health struggles, body image issues, or the pressures they feel to post the perfect photo.
In 2019, under the Live Life Unfiltered umbrella, the team launched the #AsSheIs Instagram Challenge with hopes of encouraging more young women to be vulnerable on Instagram, share their struggles, and unfiltered truths. Their LLU message and the
#AsSheIs challenge reached well over 100 million people, with participants from more than 60 different countries. Celebrities, Olympians, activists, and community leaders alike joined in. Alessia Cara, Demi Lovato, and Catriona Grey have all shown their support and acknowledging that being real and unfiltered is crucial to our mental well-being.
