Social Media Statement of Purpose My use of social media is intentional and focused, based on my commitment to relational connection and authentic self-expression. As a life-long journal writer who loves the art of a thoughtful hand-written letter, I am mindful of the ways in which social media removes us from genuine human connection and encourages unhealthy competition and comparison. However, I also see the capacity of social media to break through long-established silences, promote social change, and give voice to lived experience that promotes dignity, healing, and wholeness. I have limited myself to three social media platforms and utilize each for a slightly different purpose. |
