Bella Hadid Instagram – Proud to be included in the 2023 #TIME100 @Time list of the most influential people in the world. In awe of this achievement, and being able to be recognized along side so many talented, hardworking and life changing people. These are human beings challenging government systems, inventing world changing products, and being a light for many, in a world of darkness. Not to say I haven’t gone head to head with government systems before , but there is still a lot I have to do and a lot that has to be done. The truth is, to say I am anywhere near as influential as some of these big names, is a huge statement to make, but please know,I can feel the weight and understand my responsibilities within it. To be recognized for the work I’ve done, just makes me want to work harder to be a part of the change we want to see in this world. I know my mission is much larger than what I have even touched the surface on now, and I will continue to fight until change has been made. I will always do my best to spread the message of kindness, advocating for mental health and chronic illness, while continuing to stand up for what I know in my heart, to be right, when it comes to the refugee crisis, governmental pawns, border control issues and systematic oppression. I will always be a supporter for the oppressed and anyone less fortunate, no matter whose feathers it ruffles. Helping others is my passion& I will never stop, no matter what. It’s important for me to always speak my truth, and be as genuine as I can with you all, so to get on this list just by being myself and advocating from my heart, is a blessing in itself. WORDS BY @cturlington ❤️🙏🏽❤️ Christy – your words have me sitting in much gratitude. To know that you, the queen of beauty, integrity&kindness, have this to say about me means the world,& I have no words to describe how I feel that YOU took the time to write this tribute for me.
