I was so very pleased a few months back when Sarah Ledesma, a fellow creative, muse and friend contacted me about working with Johanna Blakely, Veronica Jariqui, & herself on a social media campaign to accompany an article Blakely would be writing on social media and gender for the Womens Studies Quarterly VIRAL issue titled Media In Our Image.
It was a wonderful collaborative process, which I feel truly lucky to be part of. To be working with forward thinking women on a topic that is relatively new was exciting. When you hear Johanna speak, she has key points that make you wonder why no one has addressed these till now.
It was here that I also really learned to appreciate the value of social media platform Pinterest, which we used as an ideas board to get across the idea that we were after. Having something so visual to reference was key and I can imaging it would be a fabulous tool for everyone, esp artists working with clients.
However the real story lies with Johanna, I very much encourage you to read her blog from the Norman Lear Center Here. Every women (and man) who uses social media should read this and keep up to date with her talks & publications. A note, Johanna has done two TED talks, both worth watching, check them out here. check it out: Media In Our Image
