#18 Creating a Global Blog About Social Justice and Feminism

Published: Dec. 12, 2020, 4 a.m.

Growing up in Hawaii and San Francisco, it was easy to find a group of students to discuss social justice issues with.

But moving back to Japan, Yuko Nagakura started to notice that feminism and social justice did not get many people talking. She started the SheQuality blog to raise awareness of sexism in Japan and then made the decision to join online high school, Crimson Global Academy.

After finding a group of like-minded students from around the world, the SheQuality blog now has an international team of authors raising awareness about the many forms of sexism that impacts their lives.

Yuko discusses starting the blog, the importance of working with a global community and what other students should consider when creating any kind of content.

Host's Notes:
I loved Yuko's final message for content creators - that it's not about the number of followers you get but reflecting on what you get out of sharing your voice and thoughts with the world - something all content creators should keep in mind.
