Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The call for more diversity in fashion and beauty campaigns has not gone unnoticed, with many brands taking strides to become more inclusive but, L’Oreal Paris UK is taking things one step further.
With the help of ambassador Helen Mirren, the brand, which have long been advocates of body positivity, are partnering up with The Princes Trust to launch the ‘All Worth It’ initiative – a three year project which will offer up to 10,000 young adults confidence training all over the UK.
Alongside Mirren, the campaign features one of the most representative casts we’ve seen yet with men and women of all ages, body types, races and abilities.
From Hijabi beauty blogger Amena; beauty blogger Jordan Bone who is in a wheelchair, author Katie Piper who survived a sulphuric acid attack, plus-size model Jada Sezer and an apparently pregnant Cheryl, the campaign includes a diverse troupe of inspirational figures.
“Self-confidence is a life-long battle, affecting people young and old. It’s for this reason that I am so happy to be here today,” Mirren said at the launch event.
“Nowadays, I think social media is affecting people’s confidence, but we need to remember that the essence of being human has not changed. We need to hold on to that fact.”
