I just wanted to take a moment, to talk about Cameron Boyce. I think alot of you guys know him or have at least heard of him by now.
Cameron was an actor that rose to fame on the Disney channel show "Jessie " and was also one of the main characters in the successful descendents franchise, he has numerous other acting credits and accolades to his name
But I'm not here to talk about his career or about what a great actor he was, he was clearly talented, being a natural actor and a phenomenal dancer as well. But I want to take this chance right now, while I have your attention to tell you about his legacy. I want to tell you about how much more cameron was than just another Disney channel actor.
Cameron Mica Boyce, used his influence and position as a celebrity to bring attention to many organizations and movements he believed in, he helped raise over $27,000 for the Thirst Project, which helps bring clean water to underdeveloped countries.
Not only that supported United Way of America's initiative to end homelessness. He helped raise money for the HomeWalk in 2015, and continued to do so up until the end of his life.
Cameron worked with It's On Us, a social movement created to raise awareness and fight against sexual assault on college campuses for both men and women.
And one of the last things he did before his death was participating in Wielding Peace, a social media campaign in conjunction with Delaney Tarr, co-founder of March for Our Lives. In Boyce's own words, the campaign would "help fight against gun violence by showing celebrities and survivors 'wielding' a new kind of weapon — one of unity."
Cameron was not just a Disney actor, he was more than a celebrity. He was a bright light passionate to use his platform to make a difference in the world. Something he still continues to do so, even today
It takes a second to reblog ♥
