Nicky Doll Instagram – What an absolute honor to have carried the Olympic torch for @paris2024 ! 🔥🇫🇷
As the flame passes through France, it announces the Olympic Games and spreads a message of peace and friendship between peoples. Which is why when I was invited to do it, I immediately said yes and worked really hard to fit in my schedule.
In a world that is deeply unstable at the moment, with all of us feeling completely hopeless about some awful things we watch happening before our eyes, it was important for me to use my platform and try to shed some light. Even though I usually prefer to act on things rather than hope for them: I would like to use this opportunity to hope for the immediate ceasefire in Rafah and for dignity to be brought back to Palestine and its people who tremendously suffered throughout these awful times and beyond. I hope for the safe release of the Israeli hostages that have been held away from their loved ones since October 7th. I hope for people to not turn savage on each other and allow racism, Islamophobia and anti-semitism to run wild again. I also wish for people to educate themselves on topics from reliable sources and stop the massively toxic impact of propaganda that social media and the internet has allowed to spread. These are a lot of hopes but I ran these meters carrying that torch and looking left and right to the people smiling and waving at me with this in mind.
I know that these are just words, on topics I’ve already communicated about. But until things don’t get better, we shouldn’t stop talking about it.
With hope, and love.
