BONUS TIP:
Find your tribe via FaceBook groups. Think of a hobby and search FaceBook for a group. You are bound to find one! And if you donโt, start one. Your tribe is out there! You are not alone. If you cannot connect in-person, find connection and support digitally.
Digital media has its negatives, but so does traditional media. Both are tools, learn how to use the tool of digital media to build the world you want to live in.
