Ishia believes social media can be a great asset to share one’s perspective on life and when used correctly it can spark the change in another human’s life.“We live in an era where information is golden, and technology has made it easier for us as humans to change life as we know it. It’s harder to keep the brutality and injustices going on in our communities hidden, and those who were once voiceless can share their view on life through different platforms. The world can no longer ignore us.”
