STOP Scrolling. Start BUILDING: Using Social Media With Purpose And Confidence

What if social media could do more than entertain? What if it could help you build opportunities, create change, and discover your purpose? In this episode of Let's Talk Matcha, I sit down with the founder of Shade Seekers to explore how one idea grew into a meaningful initiative, why she chose LinkedIn over Instagram or TikTok, and how students can use social media intentionally instead of simply scrolling. We talk about overcoming comparison, building confidence online, staying consistent with content creation, and using your platform to make a real impact—even as a high school student. Whether you're interested in personal branding, networking, climate advocacy, or starting your own passion project, this conversation is full of practical advice and inspiration.
