Why we are here . . .
I truly feel that social media gives everyone a platform. It may seem trivial to some, but that platform and the information and messages shared on it do have an impact.
I'm try to be thoughtful about content I create and I read everything that I repost before I add it to my social media threads. I want to make sure that I want to be associated with the information I’m sharing. I also ask myself three questions: Who was behind the information? What’s the evidence? What are other sources saying?
If I post something about homeless youth and why so many young people end up on the streets, I feel a responsibility to post reliable information, that I’ve done the research on, to determine if that information came from a credible source. This is also why I don’t post memes containing information and try to stick with articles that can be verified.
I care about the things that I post and the people who read them. I feel that part of caring means doing the work to make sure that I’m putting forward helpful material that can truly enlighten minds and help people take action to make a difference. 💛
