Reclaim Social Podcast E06 – Shadille Estepan (Born This Way Foundation)

The sixth episode of the Reclaim Social Podcast is now live! 🎉 We’ve talked to Shadille Estepan, Communications and Outreach Manager at Born This Way Foundation to find out more about her work and all the different ways she can inspire us.

Born This Way Foundation was founded in 2012 by Lady Gaga and Cynthia Germanotta with the goal of creating a kinder and braver world. They are supporting young people through programs and resources that drive change in their communities.

Their use of social media in promoting a kinder world inspired us to find out more about them.
