"Social media is the ultimate equalizer. It gives a voice and a platform to anyone willing to engage."
"Social media is changing the way we communicate and the way we are perceived, both positively and negatively. Every time you post a photo, or update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and personal brand."
"You're more likely to drown in the sea of sameness than get eaten by a shark while navigating new waters."
"Just as we teach our children how to ride a bike, we need to teach them how to navigate social media and make the right moves that will help them. The physical world is similar to the virtual world in many cases. It's about being aware. We can prevent many debacles if we're educated."
"I realized that social media can be powerful force for good in the world and that acts of kindness can be scaled globally."
