Why are Tik Tok and Instagram Reels so popular amongst young people? Aren't they just a waste of time?

Not in all cases.

Whenever Instagram comes out with a new feature, you may wonder why it matters. If you're a person who's frustrated by the algorithm hiding your normal posts, new features such as Reels allow your posts to be seen by more people because Instagram wants to promote its new features.

So use it to your advantage. Monique Harmon, host, interviews Mariah Hunter, who uses her reels to captivate others, make them laugh, and spread her creativity.

After the interview, Monique shares the exact steps you need to use to create reels so you can gain a following and grow your business.

What is the true meaning of being a social media influencer? When we think of the words 'social media influencer', we visualize people advertising products, reviewing their hotel experiences on a lovely beach, or wearing the latest trends from a particular store and giving their followers a discount code with their name in it. But what if you aren't interested in any of those things?

In a wave of seeing violent videos and #blacklivesmatter posts, a few of us have posted and reposted content either showing racism or how to prevent further acts of racism from happening. It can get overwhelming if you're constantly sharing these posts and/or the stories of those who died as a result of police brutality or were arrested unjustly or were just treated unfairly by other citizens.  Even seeing the origins of racism can be heavy on the heart. Host Monique Harmon shares how to effectively use social media to share your voice and the voices of those directly oppressed by social injustice with your online community.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” -Desmond Tutu.

Racism is not new. It has been happening for centuries. What continues to change is the power we have to respond. Black and non-black people must work together in order for any peace to happen for the black community and other minorities that experience racism daily. We must respond by taking strategic and powerful action! Listen in on the gradual shift host Monique made in her life to proactively fight racism in the world today.
