On Monday, Cyrus and Instagram launched “Happy Hippie Presents #InstaPride,” with the singer posting a series of portraits she took of a Michigan college student who used the app to document his transition. Over the course of two weeks, she and Instagram will share more photos she shot of other transgender and gender-expansive individuals.
The goal of the partnership is to introduce followers to their journeys, stories and the people who support them along the way. Additionally it is supported by transgender leaders who lent opinions on what would help address the stigma and misconceptions these individuals face.

It’s one time selfies are for a great cause.
