Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart receives ‘Conscious Award’

Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart has received a ‘Conscious Award.’

The actress won the award at Variety‘s Power of Young Hollywood ceremony for inspiring her young fans through positive messages and encouragement on social media.

In her acceptance speech, the Riverdale star said: “With the expectation of being perfect idols, our mistakes are often amplified, our choices are criticised, and our words are scrutinised.”

“That notion scared me for the longest time, because I know I am not perfect, and I knew I was never going to live up to that perfect expectation. So, I wanted to present myself to the world without a filter, and that meant being honest about my own insecurities, my own shortcomings and my own mistakes,” she continued.

The actress also thanked her fans for their continuous support and said: “”In accepting this honour, it is important for me to acknowledge all of the fans—all of the young people who I celebrate my successes with—who have given me the power to be honest about my personal experience with body dysmorphia, therapy, bullying and mental health issues.”

“We should all be conscious of the power we have to change someone else’s world, simply by being open about our own faults and creating a caring environment for those willing to share their own experiences,” she finished.

The actress has been open about her mental health struggles on social media and is known for her honesty to fans.
