Unlock the tools to navigate social media

Social media is central to nearly everyone’s lives and it’s not going away any time soon. For a woman looking to become more engaged in her community, politically or otherwise, it can be a crucial tool for connecting with others. It’s where we spend our free time (2 hours and 3 minutes per day according to Statista), get their news (48% of Americans according to Pew Research), and start movements with hashtags (from #MeToo to #FreeBritney).

But for anyone who has ever read the comments on what seems like an innocuous post about cats, it’s obvious that it comes with a certain set of pitfalls. When you combine polarizing topics with passionate users and add a dash of anonymity, chaos ensues. We’ve seen that this alone can dissuade women from exploring possibilities of public leadership.
