There was a time when Paris Hilton was known as little more than a reality TV star concerned with her appearance and using catchy sayings like “That’s Hot.” But in the years since Hilton shot to fame, her image has drastically changed, and she can no longer be branded as frivolous or materialistic as she has shifted her attention to politics and raising awareness for important causes. This includes spotlighting Women’s History Month.
Hilton took to Instagram to share a video with her 26.8 million followers. The clip focuses on her efforts, including going to the White House to campaign for change and highlighting the LA Wildlife Grant, which supports female-owned small businesses devastated by the fires. There are 11 grants of $25,000 each for those eligible, and applications are available on a link in her bio.
The clip also shows Hilton speaking at the senate bill for Accountability in Children’s Treatment (the welfare of children is something close to her heart, and she has been a proud advocate). In the caption, Hilton shared her thoughts, writing, “Kicking off #WomensHistoryMonth by celebrating resilience, strength, and the power of never giving up!” She acknowledged how she had been doubted by many throughout her career, but she is a firm believer in fighting for what she believes in, and she hopes that her advocacy work will inspire others to make a change.
She ended her message by asking those applying for the grant to share their applications using a hashtag (hoping to amplify the movement) and encouraging fans who see her post to “share this opportunity with the incredible women founders you know in the LA area!”
