There has been a shift taking place in social media over the last number of years. Surely you have felt it. We have been shifting from novelty and glamour to hard hitting societal issues that are forcing tough discussions.
One of the first shifts in the conversation was the Me Too movement in 2017, followed by Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, and indigenous reconciliation, and more. Along the way, we have seen societal change and progress driven by the power of communities coming together for united advocacy. Now there are two ways of looking at this.
On one hand, these matters are creating progress and accountability. On the other hand, we are becoming more divided, stubborn, and angry as people engage in an online food fight which is amplified by misinformation. It is a tricky time, and there is no one better to unpack these complex topics than Raia Carey, also known as Coach Carey. Raia is a 3x Certified Life Coach and motivational speaker, who has amazing advice to help with confidence, self love and pursuing equality. In today's discussion we talk about social media activism, cancel culture, and calling people in - versus calling them out. Enjoy.
