Ms. Rachel honors Gaza children at Glamour Awards

American children’s content creator, Rachel Accurso, widely known as Ms. Rachel, has once again captured hearts after making a powerful statement at the 2025 Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York City.

The 42-year-old YouTuber arrived wearing a gown embroidered with artwork created by children in Gaza, using their drawings to highlight their stories and raise awareness about the hardships they face in the war-torn region.

Ms. Rachel, who was among this year’s honorees, told reporters that each piece of art on her dress represents the struggles and hopes of Gaza’s children.

While accepting her award, she reflected on the stories behind their drawings — sharing how each one captures the resilience and pain of young lives caught in conflict.

Ms. Rachel has consistently used her platform to advocate for children in Gaza, speaking out for their rights and sharing their stories with a global audience.

Something that struck me was when Ms. Rachel spoke tonight. I wish I would’ve went up to her and gave her the flowers she rightfully deserves but instead I was trying to quickly wipe my tears to avoid a whole meltdown😭
