Washington, DC, Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Women everywhere are withdrawing from environments that feel toxic to them. From social media to the halls of Congress, women are undervalued and at risk. Rather than retreat, tech giant and Silicon Valley software engineer Tracy Chou, founder and CEO of Block Party, has teamed up with She Should Run to offer a one-time-only, free webinar to help women overcome intimidation on social media and ensure women’s voices are fully heard at this critical time in our nation.
Sponsored by She+ Geeks Out, “Navigating Social Media: From Your Biggest Fans To Your Worst Trolls” is an entirely free event taking place at noon EST/9am PST on Wednesday, August 24, 2022. Women from all backgrounds are invited to join She Should Run for a discussion about how to set themselves up for the best and prepare for the worst on social media. Participants will leave the event better able to position themselves as public figures and thought leaders on social media, engage more effectively with their audiences, and protect themselves from harassment.
