Ella Dawson is the social media editor for TED Talks and a sex/ethics blogger. She went viral in 2015 for publishing a personal article about living with herpes in order to help destigmatize it in our culture. Her work has been featured on The Daily Mail, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, MTV, and she's done a TEDx talk on her story as well as received a letter of solidarity from none other than Hillary Clinton for her work. In this episode we talked about internet culture, 4chan, gamergate, feminism, political correctness, social polarization, working in social media, and how to be better online. Enjoy!
