Hashtag & Celebrity

Hello!

I think many people knows #Metoo since it became very famous last year because of the news of sexual harassment by a famous director to many actress in America. Many famous actress wrote "#Metoo" on the post of their SNS to ask for help and gave a big impact to the world.
 It became very famous last year but did you know the hashtag "#Metoo" existed since 2014? If you are interested please find out on https://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/17/us/me-too-tarana-burke-origin-trnd/index.html.

I would like to intoroduce you other hashtags related to feminism and famous celebrities who are doing some act for woman.

●#BlackGirlAreMagic   #BlackGirlMagic
  This is a hashtag which came out in 2013. This hashtag has not only the feminism meanig but also the racial meanig too. This hashtag wanted to spread the beauty and power of black woman to the world. It did success becuase in march, president Obama and his wife talked together about the beauty of black woman.

●#BringBackOurGirls
 I think this is one of the most famous hashtag related to feminism, which Michelle Obama also posted on her twitter. This hashtag was made to support the 276 young girls who were kidnapped in Nigerian by the terrorist organization Boko Haram. 

●Alyssa Milano
 She is one of the person who started "#Metoo" movement and posted on her twitter account. She was very brave to come out and tell about us her story of sexual harassment by a famous producer. She gave a big infuluence to many other celebrities and they followed her and posted "#Metoo" too.

Meghan Trainor
  Her famous song is "All About That Bass" which become No.1 for eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This songs' strong and powerful lyric gave a lot of courage to all girls in the world. 

These famous celebrities are not feminist but doing what they can do to encourage girls!
