Social Media Advocacy - with Kate Taylor - Beyond Camp #18
How to use social media as a tool for advocacy and making our world a better place.
Join us today as we chat with the fabulous Kate Taylor about what it means to step up and use social media for more than just photos of your cats and what you ordered for dinner last night. Kate speaks to us openly and honestly about the path to exploring and identifying her privilege and how she uses that to advocate for others. Advocacy isn’t simply about speaking for others, instead, it’s about amplifying their voices and creating space for them to join you at the table. Well folks, we are thrilled to welcome Kate to the table and listen to her words of wisdom today.
Tune in to this episode to hear about:
How do you identify? and where do you feel you carry privilege?
Have you always thought about your privilege? What started you thinking about it? Was there a moment at camp?
Your passion project of inclusion….
Do you consider yourself an advocate?
How do you set boundaries?
Talk to me about social media? Why is this important? Why not just upload pictures of cats
What would suggest other people identify similarly do to better advocate for people.
How have you seen social media be a platform for advocacy?? Tell us about it in the comments!

What is Beyond Camp?
Beyond Camp is brought to you by Go Camp Pro.
Cassie Bloy and Rachel Kent are here to explore the intersection of camp and our lives. As much as people like to talk about camp and ‘the real world’ as two separate entities, camp professionals know that this simply isn’t true. Beyond Camp dives into how different aspects of our lives affect our camp experience, effectively bursting the camp bubble and welcoming all parts of our lives into the conversation.
Go Camp Pro is excited to bring you this podcast.
