"Over the next 2 weeks, you'll meet them and the people in their lives who support them, as we highlight their stories of resilience #happyhippiepresents @happyhippiefdn."

She also introduced the first story of her new campaign, Leo, a transgender man from Michigan.

"I spent so much of my life uncomfortable with who I was and afraid to move because I didn't want to stand out any more than I already did. This last year as I've been transitioning, there've been a lot of moments when I truly felt free to be myself: the moment I woke up from top surgery, the day the bandages came off, my first shot of testosterone. Sometimes, I'll be out in public with my family or just hanging around with friends, and I remember that I'm no longer having to hide anything about who I am. I'm not afraid to move anymore and I know who I am. Everything about me right now is exactly as it should be." - @isupersheng #happyhippiepresents #instapride @happyhippiefdn
