Many people may know Rowan Blanchard from the Disney Channel show, Girl Meets World, but if you follow Rowan on social media you begin to know a whole other side to who she is. I started following Rowan on social media, Twitter and Instagram, about a year ago; and she has truly inspired me in so many ways.
Rowan is an advocate for Feminism, LGBT Rights, Black people’s rights, Mental Health awareness, and just equality for all people. Rowan is not afraid to voice her opinion, which I think is a really incredible and brave thing to do. Rowan is using her platform that she has to make a positive difference, and get the people of today’s society and generation to really think about what we need to do to make our society a more accepting place.
Rowan is completely out in the open about her views, and I think Rowan is really helping today’s generation by spreading equality in a positive light. Rowan has educated so many people about equality whether it be from her tweets or her talk at the UN Women’s conference, I feel like I’m becoming a better person from really paying attention to the issues and figuring out what I believe in.
Rowan recently told her followers on Twitter that last year she was struggling with depression. If you know me personally, this year I was diagnosed with depression; and I think it was really helpful for me to see someone, who I admire, coming out about it and not being ashamed of something that we can not control. I think it was also really incredible for her to try and educate today’s generation about mental illness, and how it does affect a lot of people every year.
I think being a teenager can be super fun but also extremely confusing at times; this is the time where people start to figure out what they believe in, who they are, and who their friends are. It can all be very overwhelming at times; but I think the fact that one of the people my generation looks up to, supports wonderful things for equality, and shares her opinion is a positive light is a really cool thing. I think to have a role model like Rowan Blanchard is a truly priceless thing. Of course I think that if I met Rowan we would be instant best friends, drink iced coffee and listen to Beyonce, then go to an art museum, that’s not the point. I am truly grateful for all she is doing in spreading equality. I am just grateful for Rowan being Rowan, and sharing it with the rest of the world. I think we all owe Rowan Blanchard a round of Applause. Thank you Rowan!!
