Camille Kostek on how she’s giving back amid coronavirus pandemic: ‘I don’t believe in feeding into fear’

“Sometimes I have followers reach out to me and say, ‘Why are you so happy during this time?’” she explained. “‘There’s so much to be sad about. There’s so much to be anxious about.’ But it’s OK to be happy. It’s OK to feel good about yourself because it’s not doing any good for anybody else to be fearful or spread anxiety. I’m all about being open with how you feel. But I don’t believe in feeding into fear. I think that’s what keeps me going and feeling hopeful.”

“If someone looks up to you, it doesn’t good any good to feed into that fear and anxiety,” she continued. “So I’m trying to stay positive and hope it will inspire others to do the same during these tough times. And I’m lucky to have my health, which is why I want to give back and get involved with things that can help someone else who needs it the most.”
