This isn’t the first time Brown has encouraged her Twitter followers. Last summer, the actress started a separate Twitter page called @MillieStopsHate, where she aims to stop bullying by spreading love and positivity. We love that Brown is using her platform for good, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
