Meet Izzy and The Tiny Duck Movement!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“The Tiny Duck Movement started off anonymously to encourage the spread of positivity among my peers at the University of Memphis. As time went on, the amount of ducks being put down increased as well as the number of students discovering me. \u201cThat\u2019s duck girl! That\u2019s duck girl!\u201d students would say when they caught me in action. I would watch people completely light up over these tiny ducks and this fueled my energy. Every day it became more popular on social media. Now, there are over 20 students doing their own tiny animals or gestures on campus because one positive act which encouraged the act of another. One act of positivity set off a chain reaction and it will only spread further.” – Izzy Albert<\/p>\n\n\n\n
