Find Me in Dove’s Newest National Campaign “The Code”

Dove just announced they’re setting a new digital standard of representation – featuring Lil Ole Me 🙂

Today, on the 20th anniversary of the Real Beauty campaign I started studying in college *cries real tears* Dove has released this video nationally, becoming the first beauty brand to commit to never using AI in place of real people in its advertising. I CAN believe I’m in it, and I’m so psyched.

Dove vows to Portray women like me, Reba McEntire, Drew Barrymore, Beanie Feldstein, and Marsai Martin as they are in real life, with ZERO digital distortion. The little girl who compared herself to airbrushed models without warning would be psyched to know she is enough, as she is, to be included in this.

I’m honored to be among the women Dove thinks redefines beauty standards in new and emerging media – and I’m going to keep it REAL too! Please tag me when you see me bubble up with the other gorgeous media creators in theaters, online and on TV – my first national TV commercial couldn’t be more worthy. Real beauty isn’t defined by filters or algorithms, but by us. #dove #realbeauty #doverealbeauty #beautycreators #beautycontentcreator #actresslife
