An activist who tried to get a white student kicked out of school over a “misheard” comment announced she has partnered with Dove as a brand ambassador for a “Fat Liberation” campaign.
Zyanha Bryant, who is a student at the University of Virginia and a prominent activist, pushed school officials to expel fellow student Morgan Bettinger over uncorroborated claims that she heard her say BLM protesters would be “good speed bumps,” according to Reason. Despite this, Dove reportedly brought Bryant on as an ambassador for its latest campaign for “Size Freedom,” according to an Aug. 31 Instagram post.
“Fat liberation is something we should all be talking about,” Bryant wrote. “That’s why I am partnering with Dove, to support the work of @naafaofficial, @flareforjustice in the Campaign for Size Freedom. Tell us what Fat Liberation means to you using the hashtag #sizefreedom and tagging @dove to share your story ♥️.”
The post was liked by Dove’s Global Channel social media account.
On June 17, 2020, Bryant allegedly tweeted that Bettinger had called BLM protestors “good speed bumps,” according to Reason.
“The woman in this truck approached protesters in #Charlottesville, and told us that we would make ‘good speedbumps,’” Bryant wrote. “She then called the police and started crying saying we were attacking her.”
The post was reportedly retweeted more than 1,000 times and quickly became a national story and Bettinger was identified and revealed to be a supporter of the Blue Lives Matter movement by the following morning, according to Reason. Bettinger, however, claimed that she had been speaking to a city worker blocking off the street and said “It’s a good thing that you are here because, otherwise, these people would have been speed bumps.”
Over the course of the next year, Bettinger was investigated by the UVA Judiciary Council, the college’s civil rights office and a student-run investigation, with the first finding her guilty of “threatening the health or safety” of students and the latter two agreeing with Bettinger’s version of events, according to Reason. The civil rights office noted that Bryant had no witness or evidence to back up her claim despite it reportedly happening in front of dozens of people.
Due to the council’s decision, Bettinger was sentenced to 50 hours of community service, along with mandated meetings with a university professor on the topic of “police-community relations,” according to Reason. She was also required to write an apology letter to Bryant and was under threat of expulsion if she had any following incidents.
Bryant has since been named to Ebony Magazine’s 2023 “Power 100” list and featured in an official Juneteenth post for Instagram.
Bryant, Dove and Unilever, Dove’s parent company, did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
