[myv1234go]

After watching this for the fourth or fifth time, my skin tingled from head to toe. I guess this was its way of saying, "It's about time someone got this right."

[MsDealwithit]

i really really needed this. thank you for literally saving my life. thank you.

[BusyDefyingGravity]

I needed this today. Thank you.

[spudokeefe]

This is simply truth. Powerful truth. On a curious not though, does anyone know about the making of this film, because a handful of the people in this video look familiar from MCTC.

[desdamonaone]

@spudokeefe We did the video here in the Twin Cities and most of the women in it are people I know personally. I put out a call to my friends and on facebook asking for women to be in the video and all the women in the video responded.

[spudokeefe]

@desdamonaone Cool, well I don't think it could have come together any more perfectly... or i guess, imperfectly. Keep up the good work Des, we need people like you in this world to create something out of nothing. Big up to the Twin Cities crew!

[naijanaija]

This made me cry. I'm someone who's suffered low self esteem for years and years too many to count. This might just be a start in the healing process. Thank you.

[kmlyons2006]

I had the EXACT same reaction when I saw this, naijanaija! I wish so much there had been campaigns like this 25 years ago when I was struggling to be accepted and find myself. Thank GOD there are now, though! Let the healing begin! :)

[morgiana134]

This was amazing. I watched it and all of a sudden feel wonderful about myself for the first time in a long time. Thanks!

You are truly a blessing!

[Zusya363]

As the father of two daughters, I thank you. This is beautiful and so needed.

[desdamonaone]

So, for all the people who want to put something negative up about the video, the message....You'll be deleted. And the reason your comment will be deleted is because this world is already full of negativity - We don't need yours too. If you don't like the video or what it's stands for then keep it moving. Do your thing and keep your negativity to yourself.

[Gibberish185]

@desdamonaone I agree with the message you're sending with this comment, but you're going about it in the wrong way I think. Sure, it'd be great if negativity wasn't so prevalent in the world. But there's something else that's all too prevalent in the world. People being silenced. Too often is it in this world that certain groups or people are not allowed to speak their mind out because the authority keeps them pinned down.

[desdamonaone]

As a women in the world of hip hop and well, just a woman in general, I know this all to well. But I don't think that anyone who is posting negativity on this video is doing it because they feel silenced. Speaking you mind is not the same as being negative about something that is meant to be uplifting.

[desdamonaone]

@Gibberish185 There are people here who have anonymity and just get wild be disrespectful. So, as I can understand what you are expressing I will continue to monitor was is meant to be uplifting. My piece is not something that should bring about anger/disrespect.

[Dipstikk]

@Gibberish185 This is a lighthouse for people. A sanctuary of comfort, a retreat from the things they're bombarded with by these loathsome little jackals. All the snipes about their weight that they get on a daily basis, all of the "we're just concerned for your health" hissed at them from behind sadistic smiles, they deserve a place to go to escape from it. That's why I agree with the video owner. If haters gonna hate, then let them do it someplace else.

[Metrosexualmod27]

OH MY!!! This Should Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programing!!! This Should Be One Billboards, Written across The Sky, Spray Painted On The Moon! This is Me, This is you!

I remember hearing this a while back when you auditioned for a Target thing we were doing. I loved it then and I love it now. the visuals are beautiful. I saw Shannon in there! Nice.

You are and always have been an inspiration to so many. Thank you for the words that you share, the emotion that you bring and the courage you create.
