Activism on Social Media: Does it help or hurt?

09/15/20 • 36 min

This episode, Kritika & Simran have their VERY FIRST interview with a good friend of theirs from High School- Yubil Das! Yubil is pursuing her undergraduate degree in Sociology and uses her social media extensively not only to educate her peers on the interesting things she learns, but also to voice out her opinions on matters that are important to her. Yubil truly goes unfiltered in explaining her experience with activism on social media from having difficult, but meaningful conversations on controversial issues to getting hate comments on some of her posts. The girls explore Armchair Activism, successful and unsuccessful movements and even discuss how social media can be a double edged sword when it comes to socio-political activism. Join the Gen Z-ers to learn all about this and share your opinions to them on Instagram (@agm_unfiltered) or Twitter (@GloriousGen)!
