Social Media for Teens

  • What is the right age for girls to get their own social media accounts? – MediaGirls.org

    MEDIAGIRLS has launched brand new virtual workshops for girls! As girls are spending more time online than ever before due to COVID-19, this question becomes an especially difficult one to answer. In this blog post, Editorial Volunteer Isabela Rocha explores this topic with the help of parents and experts. Nadia Mullin allows her 8-year-old daughter to watch YouTube videos under supervision, which she said is a system that works well. So, she was surprised when, in a routine check, she found her girl playing Minecraft in a public online room. “That was a big no-no,” said Mullin. “She didn’t see the iPad for a while so she knows that’s the kind of stuff you can’t do. You can’t just play and let strangers in.”

How to Talk About Race

  • Talking About Race

    Start your journey by exploring one of the Talking About Race topics. No one is born racist or antiracist; these result from the choices we make. Being antiracist results from a conscious decision to make frequent, consistent, equitable choices daily. These choices require ongoing self-awareness and self-reflection as we move through life. In the absence of making antiracist choices, we (un)consciously uphold aspects of white supremacy, white-dominant culture, and unequal institutions and society. Being racist or antiracist is not about who you are; it is about what you do.

    As the world grapples with Covid-19, communities are marching in the streets to express their displeasure and frustration at our country’s inability to deal with our racial inequalities. What started as protests against the killing of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police has quickly grown to represent the continued senseless killing of African Americans. As the list grows, so does the call for justice and equality for all people.
