Segment 3 (Main Topic):
Notes:
Anne's IG page: instagram.com/annesimaabel
Memoir and social media are the same to me in terms of what I'm posting; openly share about mental health (that how I began); by sharing stories and share hope
Shorter the better (video on IG and TikTok). 3 minutes max.
Innovation and Hope TED Talk, social media opened up my world (origin story, transformation, be proud of); ideas: say YES; do your best
Reels, hook, social media isn't writing -- talk about what excites you instead of focusing on writer's block.
Just do your best.
