and as someone who was born in the middle of the rise of the internet and grew up with a digital identity, I find it important to be aware of it and reflect of what’s going on around me. 

I am @clorindasgromo and this is social media & me: a serie of personal solo-conversation about social media culture.
I’ve created this podcast as a way to unfold what social media mean to me. 
we talk about changes and new stuff off of the internet and how we can keep up with everything at the same time.

Alix ha mostrato, -come Charli D'Amelio, Addison Rae, Millie Bobby Brown e molte altre celeb e influencer prima di lei -, una foto senza ritocchi della propria acne. e le persone online l'hanno accolta come un atto coraggioso nel mostrarsi al suo pubblico online con delle imperfezioni evidenti sul viso. lei stessa dice “se io posso mostrarmi in questo stato a milioni di follower, anche tu puoi uscire di casa e vivere la tua vita. avere l’acne è normale”.</p><br/><p>quindi, se le celebrity o le influencer si fanno vedere con l’acne è un atto di coraggio? per mostrare le proprie imperfezioni sui social media ci vuole coraggio?</p><br/><p>parliamo di skin positivity e acne censorship, hashtag lanciato dalla creator canadese, Lavinia Rusanda. </p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
