Hey y'all! 👋🏽
After working in tech & advertising for over 15 years, I recognize the unique role communications has played to uphold harmful systems.

🌱 Bridging Towards a Healthy Internet 🌉
Social media controlled by Big Tech's #1 goal is to profit off of its users through:
- advertising (aka selling us stuff we don't need) and...
- collecting (aka stealing) everything we do online
I've been honest about Big Tech's influences and how we can build a healthier digital ecosystem. It starts with carving new pathways! That's why the roots of change agency is now set up on the decentralized internet! We invite you to join us on independent & secure platforms that support your well-being, not the Big Tech Bro's pocketbook. Download our free resources to build your strategy.
🕹️ Our Decentralized Strategy
Accessible, Secure Content Based in Reciprocity
🗞️ Ghosting Substack: Independent Publishing vs. Nazis
Our media ecosystem is built on Ghost, an independent publishing platform so we may grow independently, keep our community safe, and stop AI from stealing our stuff.
- We publicly left Substack in 2023 after its founders unmasked themselves as part of the same Big Tech problem.
- We were the 1st wave of creators to leave after Substack's founders chose to platform and monetize Nazis and do little to stop the rising attacks on marginalized writers.
- Read why Sharon Hurley Hall & Sam Chavez went Ghosting Substack for Healthier Platforms in 2023.
- Listen to Sharon Hurley Hall & Sam Chavez talk about their experience leaving Substack and why staying can harm movements.
