New Disney campaign urges girls to dream bigger than just princesses

Disney launched a new global initiative in 2016 called #DreamBigPrincess. Now, per the campaign's site, they've added a photography element. In addition to having 19 female photographers "create a series of empowering images showcasing real-world girls and women," the company asks you share your powerful photos with the same hashtag.

Starting this past week until October 11, Disney will donate up to $1 million to the UN's Girl UP foundation for every like and share each #DreamBigPrincess photo gets. The hope is that young kids will learn there's more to aspire to than just the beloved-yet-dated Disney princess narrative.

Learn more about the campaign here and see some of the gorgeous photos from one of the photographers ( Kate T. Parker) below.
