On Wednesday, students gathered in the lobby of Miami Springs Senior High in an intent of positivity and put out there their various words of affirmation. Writing in little Post-It notes, they expressed their positivity through hashtags, showing their inner person. #noplaceforhate was organized Jan 12, in the campus lobby where many came up with important messages against hate. But #noplaceforhate is not only about general hate, it also provides a look into harmful stereotypes. “This movement can be impacting because it spreads awareness about stereotypes being used against people.” – Melanie Perez. Melanie believes in the effect of stereotypes and how it affects every day society; she supports the #noplaceforhate movement and completely goes against not only general hate but also stereotypes; she says #spreadpositivity.
