Many were touched by the stories of the heroines - including the topic turned out to be close to the model of Maria Minogarova, who decided to launch a flashmob # yane basketball player.

"Flashmob turned out by chance, without preparation. I read an article on Wonderzine about the problems faced by tall girls. And after the next event, which at first it was difficult to pick up clothes [because of height] and where I was again ten told me awesome, I wrote a post on instagram, ”Minogarova tells“ Poster. Daily. ”- Every day, anywhere, anytime, if you are a girl and your height is about 180 centimeters, each person considers it his duty to ask:“ Girl, and you are not a basketball player? ”. Then comes volleyball, in third place - question about the model. Therefore, the hashtag # yane basketball player was born by itself. "

Under this tag, participants talk about their lives with high growth and the difficulties associated with it - including the excessive attention of others, difficulties in choosing clothes and bullying. According to Minogarova, she did not expect such a large-scale response and now wants to turn the flash mob into a social project, and also change the tag to a more suitable one that “would not agitate against basketball and sports”.
