I recently had the absolute privilege of speaking to @elijahmckenzee & @JeromeFosterII about intersectional activism for an exclusive article 💚 Check it out and be ready to feel truly inspired by their relentless efforts to safeguard our future @ThredMag thred.com/exclusives/exc…

Forget #Brat summer. Hot on the heels of the brash and bold mentality that @charli_xcx had us embracing with her latest album, its antithesis has blown up on #TikTok, seeing users satirically favour modesty over lime green hedonism. @ThredMag ✍️thred.com/culture/unpack…

fast food, fast fashion, songs being sped up, tv show seasons being only 8 episodes long, replacing youtube vlogs with fifteen second "day in the life" tiktoks, people in their twenties complaining about being too old...everything is so rushed, we have lost the art of lingering.

👠 Tackiness isn’t just having a moment in fashion. 🍏 Reality TV is booming, the most salient new sound in recent years is hyperpop (thanks @charli_xcx), and even food marketing has jumped on the bandwagon. #BRATgirlsummer #Culture #Trends #SocialMedia tinyurl.com/yc6j988f

🪞 Before mirrors + smartphones were invented, the only way to see our own face was to use nature. 😰 Today, we’re faced with our reflection so often, it’s no wonder we’re all so preoccupied with our appearance. #BodyImage #SelfImage #MentalHealth tinyurl.com/mt845uhz

While many of us are steadily destroying our hearing with unsafe listening practices, they might actually be our one saving grace, protecting us from the incessant din of the outside world and the neglected effects of this on our health. @ThredMag ✍️ thred.com/tech/noise-can…

Why not let her legacy be in her music? Why not highlight her many accolades as an artist? Why, instead, dredge up the turbulence of her later life and show her at her mental and physical worst to generate income? @ThredMag ✍️ #amywinehouse #backtoblack thred.com/culture/opinio…

“While I attempt to reintegrate the art of hanging out into my routine, I urge you to do the same because, as I’ve learned in my solitude, belonging is as indispensable as the ability to enjoy your own company.” @ThredMag ✍🏻 thred.com/culture/opinio…

🥑 You probably know that the global hunger for avocado is wreaking havoc on the planet. 🥷 But it's time to get clued up on how it affects those working tirelessly to meet ever-increasing demand. #Exploitation #OrganisedCrime #Crime #News #FoodSystem tinyurl.com/4vw5v5sm

@JenkOzOfficial @ThredMag @ForbesUnder30 @Forbes Huge!!!

I will begin by saying I was 18 years old when I was awarded this, therefore, there is no way in the world that I accomplished this alone. I received an extraordinary amount of help from countless people that enabled me. From an early age, I have been fortunate to have unending support from my parents, been mentored by some very experienced people who were willing to share best practices and was able to hire the most loyal people that I now consider family. Thank you to all of you for helping drive the mission of Thred Media. Without us collectively pushing forward, it would still be a poster board gathering dust in the basement. Honours like these matter most when other young people read about them, get inspired to follow their journey and realise that today is the best time to follow their passion and start a company. It’s faster, cheaper and more efficient than at any other time in history- 1/10th the cost compared to 10 years ago- thank you cloud computing, distributed networks and website-building apps! Being on a list like this lets other young people know that you can take a calculated risk, get started at any age, fail many times then get right back up and do it all over again. This honour means so much because it can inspire agency and scale in others. Secondly, there is a cataclysmic shift underway in the employment paradigm- 50% of jobs in the developed world will be gig by 2027 putting job security, health/pension benefits, and paid vacation at risk. To survive let alone thrive, young people will need to backfill the current school syllabus by upskilling on learning platforms. 85% of the jobs needed for 2030’s economy have not been created in scale yet. Innovators will need to build the companies of the future and hire employees who understand the future. This type of much-needed innovation starts with supportive parents, supportive teachers, a supportive educational system and a supportive mentoring and skill-sharing framework.

We spoke to the environmentally-centred Gen Zer – who is a renewable energy engagement lead at Younity – about why we must be confronting the climate crisis as a united front @ThredMag ✍️ thred.com/exclusives/exc…

Pessoa is one my favourite authors. And this is a very interesting thought from him. “The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.”

Yesterday @cloverhogan branded the belief in ‘silver bullet solutions’ to the environmental crisis as the most insidious form of climate denial. This has been met with intense backlash from users and the CEO of Tesla and X himself, Elon Musk. @ThredMag ✍️ thred.com/tech/clover-ho…
