Are female influencers empowering or harming young women?

1 Mins read

We examine the strong links between social media and self-perception.

In this podcast episode we talk about the connection between female social media influencers and the self-perception of young women.

My first guest is an influencer Ema Muller who talks about empowering young women on her social media account and creating “I am a goddess, we all are”.

I also talk to a young female gender and media studies student Cloe Jewell who shares her knowledge in the subject.
