Lilly Singh Instagram – When it comes to supporting girls and women, I’m a huge nerd 🤓❤️
I had a lovely time in India with @unicornisland. And as a result, I’m dedicating myself to two ideas:
1. That I will be a student for life: Because issues like gender inequality are so complex, chances are I’ll never to be able say, “I completely understand this and know how to tackle it.” And that can feel very uncomfortable and discouraging. However, I’m deciding to meet that reality with student energy. If it’s complex, I’ll keep learning. If I fail, I’ll try another method. And if things change, I’ll update my education. Sometimes people will purposely try to corner me into a tough question, and I want to make it clear that I have no issues in saying, “I don’t know,” because I do know I’m willing to do the work to figure it out. This work isn’t about ego, it’s about making progress.
2. Build a legacy: I’m not naive enough or lacking enough self-awareness to say that I won’t have superficial goals. I absolutely want the films, awards and vacation goals. I’m human. But, I’m dedicated to spending a meaningful amount of my time, energy and resources into legacy building. And I want my legacy to be helping girls and women live their lives based on their own terms. Because if I can help educate a girl, the impact of that will ripple through time and generations, even when I’m gone. That is priceless, timeless and limitless, in a way that is unlike any other goal I’ve ever accomplished.
Having said the above, last year for my birthday, I did a fundraiser for my charity @unicornisland to raise money for girls and women in India. I’m deciding to make it an annual thing. This year, it starts in two days, on Sept 19th. Stay tuned for more ❤️
Thanks for letting me nerd out! And thank you India for always giving me such insight, love and just… life. 🙏🏽
