Following in the footsteps of fierce celebs like Ke$ha and Miley Cyrus, we are thrilled to reveal two more major musicians who are lending their voice to the Love Is Louder campaign! Jason Mraz and Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams are jumping aboard this important cause that was first launched back in 2010 by actress Brittany Snow and the Jed Foundation.
Love Is Louder was created to spread the message of hope, love, and that no one is ever alone. For Michelle, it wasn't always glamour, fame, and that abundance of happiness she exudes today. In her Love Is Louder vid she shares a bit of her struggle and how she overcame it by revealing, "you don't want to blend in, you were born to stand out." Isn't that the truth?

So, know that you are not alone." Such important messages to take away. Sadly, that lingering feeling of depression is a prevalent issue across America.
