The Importance Of American Eagle Outfitters' #WeAllCan Campaign
American Eagle

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve worn American Eagle’s jeans to death. And to this day, I still cannot find ones that I love more. But I never really took the time to get to know the company itself, and as I discovered their values and what they stood for, I was far from disappointed.

The #We All Can Campaign is designed to celebrate the power of millennials—and just how awesome they really are. Stars such as YouTuber/singer Troye Sivan, actress Hailee Steinfeld, and Blackish star Yara Shahidi have all taken part in the campaign. American Eagle’s Instagram account is flooded with pictures of each star and their empowering messages for the campaign. My personal favorite is Troye Sivan’s, which is “I Can Love Anyone.” Love is a beautiful, wonderful thing to experience, and I am inspired and thankful that both Troye and American Eagle are using their platform to encourage others to never be ashamed of who they love. According to American Eagle’s global brand president, Chad Kessler, “#WeAllCan is a new brand platform that celebrates Young America's unique voice and individuality. #WeAllCan is an invitation for Young America to follow their passions and share what they can do, be, and create."



American Eagle has also partnered with Rock The Vote as part of the campaign, which features t-shirts and a denim jacket with the phrase “I Can” inside the word American. It’s extremely important for every person, especially youth and young adults that their voice matters, and they are capable of producing positive changes in America. Youth and young adults play a much larger role in America than they may realize—and it is vital that they know they can freely exercise that role.

By showcasing this campaign, American Eagle is emphasizing that we all can achieve whatever we put our minds to, no matter our age, race, or gender.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
