Hi Yโ€™all! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

Last month, I spoke on a LinkedIn Live discussion with Taj Smith and Emily Weltman about digital activism today and what it takes to speak up and protect yourself while doing it. I loved the depth that we all brought to the conversation and thank you to Alyssa and Tristan who pop in for questions.

  1. How did we each get into activism and how has activism shaped our lives
  2. What does leading with purpose mean in a 2024 digital world with fewer guardrails and more exposure?
  3. Why speak up about issues online in the first place?
  4. How can community help build energy for the movement and protection in the digital age?
  5. How do we channel anger and other emotions for our activism in todayโ€™s world?

We were so in sync that many times Taj and Em would say exactly what I was thinking. You know you've found good people when you want to keep chatting for 90 minutes, but don't worry! Part 1 is our usual 20-30 minute episode and we'll be back in tw0 weeks for part 2. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
