She’s a Young Hollywood favourite and a best-selling author to boot; who is she? Well Lily Collins, of course. Whether tackling the topic of anorexia nervosa in her acclaimed Netflix film To the Bone or encouraging young people to find self-confidence by sharing her own story (see her book Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me), Lily doesn’t shy away from highlighting the issues of the day. A believer in the power of using one’s voice to advocate for change, she took the stage at WE Day Seattle to share this inspirational message. From backstage, Lily shares her views on social advocacy as a young leader and a humble role model to fans. About WE: WE is an organization that brings people together and gives them the tools to change the world. A unique family of organizations, WE is made up of WE Charity, empowering change with resources that create sustainable impact, and ME to WE, a social enterprise that creates socially conscious products and experiences that allow people to do good through their everyday choices. The celebration of that change happens at WE Day – inspiring stadium-sized life changing events that take place around the world. A movement of 3.4 million young people supporting 2,500+ local and global causes, we’ve provided more than 1 million people with clean water and built 1,000 schools and schoolrooms overseas, giving more than 200,000 children access to education. WE was founded more than 20 years ago by humanitarians, activists and social entrepreneurs, brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger.
