WowThankYou: The Movement

The WowThankYou movement is like a big virtual hug for the incredible women who have shaped our lives. Make a heartfelt video, picture post or tweet where you talk about a woman who makes you go "Wow!" Share what makes her so amazing and why you’re so thankful to have her in your life. WowThankYou is like a big online gratitude party, celebrating the awesome women who inspire us to become the best version of ourselves. Let’s all share our female inspirations and start a positive, uplifting movement.

Follow these simple instructions.

1. Name the woman who inspires you. (Don't forget to use her handle @ so she sees your post!) 

2. Describe what about her makes you go, “Wow!” How is she amazing?

3. Why are you so thankful for her? How has she affected your life?

4. Use the hashtag #wowthankyou so that we can publicly acknowledge these remarkable women and spread joy and love around the world!

FAQ

1. Who started the WowThankYou movement?

Hi, I’m Alice Yoo, founder and CEO of Skylar Yoo, a women empowerment fashion line that is known for its unique, hand lettered graphic tees. The company has been around for six years.

Previously, I was co-founder and editor-and-chief of the popular art and culture blog My Modern Met.

I have three different brands. This one, Skylar Yoo, which is about women empowerment. HeartArt where emotions come alive through thought-provoking imagery, and SkyHugs where I sell gifts that spread love and bring happiness.

I can't take full credit for the idea of this WowThankYou movement. I have to give it to God for putting this idea into my head. It's by my grit and His grace that meaningful projects like this come to life!

2. How did the idea come about?

One night, the idea of the WowThankYou project popped into my head. (I believe it was God giving me a big mission.) WowThankYou started as a street scene idea where we would go up to strangers and ask them to name an inspirational woman in their life. After discussing it over with my sister Grace, she morphed it into a movement. She sent me a surprise video that was about ME?! I was shocked!!! Huge tears streamed down my face as I watched the video. It was at that moment that I knew this would be a powerful movement. That was the very first WowThankYou video.

3. How do I get involved with the movement?

Simply tweet about the woman who makes you go "Wow!" and thank her for being the special person she is. Just remember to use her @ handle and our hashtag #wowthankyou. We'll select some of the tweets to retweet. 

4. Where will the videos live?

With your permission, we’ll take the most touching videos and put them up on Skylar Yoo’s TikTok page. To be found, simply tag your video #wowthankyou so we can go through each video and select the ones that we think should be recognized on the page.

5. When did the WowThankYou movement begin? 

We officially launched to TikTok on Jun 10, 2024. We officially launch on Twitter about one month later, on July 17, 2024. 

6. What’s the point of the movement?

We want women - sisters, mothers, coworkers, grandmothers, friends, mentors - from all walks of life to not just feel seen and heard but appreciated. It’s a way of giving back to all the wonderful women in our lives.

7. What is the greater mission of this movement?

The mission is to spread love and joy around the world. It's to realize that we are all connected by pure, unconditional love. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
