About The BeYou Campaign
Be You is a cause-marketing campaign that is produced by Buzzledom, a media and communications company with a mission statement, "Media with purpose." Buzzledom, Inc. is founded by Tisa Mendoza who is no stranger to self-loathing and low self-worth. In fact, both the company and the campaign are Tisa's labor of love as she's made it her mission in life to use media to influence positive change.
Tisa had a life of not liking herself and wishing she looked like her peers and the images of women that were -- and still are -- portrayed in the media. Having healed a lot of her pain through the practice of self-love and self-acceptance, Tisa is on a mission to bring positive media and communications to an industry that is still caught up in defining beauty and what and how genders 'should' behave.
The intention of Be You is to bring people to accept and love themselves, so that we can accept and love others - without judgement.
Where ever you are in your journey of self love - Be You wants to help you get there faster.
As the campaign was being produced, Tisa decided to create a non-profit, The Be You Fund. Its mission is to fund programs for schools that help enrich the lives of our youth to prevent bullying, eating disorders, and health problems from unhealthy diets and habits. In addition to schools, The Be You Fund wishes to assist non-profits that focus on on self-empowerment, eating disorders, leadership, and health programs by helping them fundraise and raise awareness about their programs.
