#48HoursOfLove with Ryan Jamaal Swain

The It Gets Better Project is excited to partner with Ryan Jamaal Swain on a campaign titled “#48HoursOfLove” to inspire LGBTQ+ young people who are going back to school and are needing uplifting messages of empowerment and support!

Using the quote from Audre Lorde, “I am deliberate and afraid of nothing” as a prompt – please submit a video or letter to LGBTQ+ youth to let them know you are rooting for their success and that they are loved and celebrated for being their authentic selves!

“I think the most powerful thing that can happen for young people is to be told “I see you.” That alone can provide a touchstone in their lives that is filled with hope. My goal is that #48HoursOfLove” inspires our world to always lead with the most powerful force: love.” – Ryan Jamaal Swain
