12 Online abuse and digital self-care with Seyi Akiwowo (Glitch)

We’ve talked to Seyi Akiwowo, Executive Director of Glitch, to find out more about her experience setting up Glitch, the transition from politics to the charity sector and how we can end online abuse by championing digital citizenship. Glitch is about raising awareness for online abuse combining awareness, campaigning, and training to help fix the glitch, or else, make the Internet a better place. Seyi has shared with us her tips on how to be an active bystander online, how to practice digital self care based on everyone’s needs, and how to amplify the good stories on social media. We’ve also talked about the role of social media in activism, the secret to avoiding the activist’s burnout and the reasons we all need to have people in our lives that keep us accountable. This is the perfect way to end the first season of our podcast!
