*Mallary Hope Video Contest*
Mallary Hope is a Christian recording artist who has an encouraging song out called “Me”.
“‘Me’ is a special reminder, even for myself, that I don’t have to change who I am or conform to the world to fit in. I am loved and am enough just the way I am. It’s easy to forget the beauty God created us for. I want this song to remind people of that beauty and to feel encouraged that ‘it’s okay to be me.’” – Mallary Hope
Mallary wants to encourage her fans to be comfortable with who they are. That’s why she is inviting those who resonate with the message of “Me” to share their own stories of overcoming by uploading their personal videos by Friday, March 15th. (See instructions on the promo page.) The videos will then have a chance of being included in her upcoming music video for the song.
