Using your Instagram to be an advocate

Alright, we’re talking about it. I want to share with you my thought process when it comes to being an advocate online, and using your social media following for good. We’re addressing my own journey with recognizing my white privilege and getting past white guilt in order to take action and work towards justice.

Step one: get over your guilt

Step two: research and learn

Step three: examine yourself

Step four: take action

Step five: never stop
