Highlights from the Festival

XOXO Festival has always been a platform for creators, innovators, and those with powerful stories to share. This year's edition was no exception, featuring an array of speakers, workshops, and interactive sessions that inspired and engaged audiences.

A Personal Perspective on Harassment

One of the standout moments came from my own talk, where I discussed a harassment campaign that drastically affected my life. This candid discussion was crucial in shedding light on the challenges many face in the online and offline worlds.

The Journey of Sharing My Story

I previously wrote about my experiences in detail as part of The Verge’s The Year Twitter Died package. It explored not only my personal challenges but also highlighted the broader implications of harassment on social media.

Key Takeaways from the Talk

• Understanding Harassment: It's not just a personal issue; it's a societal one that impacts mental health, safety, and freedom of expression.
• Community Support: Building a support network is essential for anyone facing similar challenges.
• Using Your Voice: Sharing your story can empower others and contribute to broader conversations about safety and respect online.
