Bizaardvark stars Olivia Rodrigo and Madison Hu have teamed up with Instagram today to spread kindness and give out the #KindComments Award. #KindComments is a global initiative created to promote positive online activity. Which is why our favorite bestie bloggers, Olivia and Madison, are there to celebrate the event. 

“Social media is a big part of many people’s lives today. Posting kind comments is an easy way to brighten up someone’s day”, Olivia told GL. Along with spreading kindness through the hashtag, this event honored one girl who shares kindness all over Instagram. 

The recipient of the award is Ava Marling, a super talented illustrator who shares her artwork on Instagram and encourages others to create art. Her work is full of positives messages and support, which makes her the perfect recipient for the first ever #KindComments Award. Make sure you check out her totally awesome artwork here.  

During the celebration, which took place in Dallas, Texas, they unveiled a crazy colorful mural custom designed by artist Dallas Clayton.” This event was all about being kind and spreading positivity on Instagram and making kindness on social platforms the norm. One kind comment can truly make a big impact on a person, and it is so important to encourage and promote being kind", says Madison.

Not only is this mural the perfect spot for your latest Instagram pic (with the hashtag #KindComments, obvi), but it creates a positive space and a beacon of kindness for everyone who visits. In the next month, these murals will be popping up all over the place, including in cities like Chicago and Washington, D.C. So keep an eye out for a Kind Comment mural near you!
