Champaign townie shares her secrets to social media: the good, the bad and the viral. This branding and marketing professional uses her education and field experience to curate and spread beauty-one post at a time.

 Listen as Grace explains why her day job is the least interesting thing about her, inauthentic vs. authentic content, her self-taught side hustle for lucky brides, wacky algorithms, how to take the best picture and why social media should be viewed as a fun tool and not a recipe for FOMO and jealousy. This millennial disproves the common stereotypes, showing how articulate, motivated and self-actualized this generation can be. Even though this was our first meeting, I saw the obvious beauty from the outside mirror what radiated from within this golden girl.

Emily Harrington, here! Mom, wife, retired communications liaison and host of the HyperLocal(s) Podcast. Each week I bring you a pod where townies and transplants share their tales of tears and triumphs, losses and wins. In an effort to provide a way for those that don’t want a public podcast, but still have a story to tell friends and family, I’ve created, In Retrospect: A HyperLocal(s) Project, a private podcast.
