Pinterest’s Post

Last week, I was lucky enough to attend the second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit. It was an amazing event that focused on raising awareness and funds for youth mental health all over the world. At the event, Pinterest created an interactive experience where attendees could take a photo or write a note to celebrate their best self, and then pin it to our Pinterest wall. I even shot my own affirmation pic! As a company that’s invested in the wellbeing of our users and focused on creating product features to help people feel seen and celebrated, showing up in places with people who share these values is essential. I am proud of Pinterest’s Impact Fund which is strategically focused on supporting emotional wellbeing and was recently recognized as a top 5 global private funder of mental health. One of the best parts of the night was meeting Selena Gomez, the founder of Rare Impact Fund and  Rare Beauty. She's a strong advocate for mental health, and it was so inspiring to hear her speak. Big thanks to the Pinterest and #RareImpactFundBenefit team for putting together such a meaningful event that highlighted the importance of mental health, especially for young people.
