On Thursday, October 1, my friends Joey, Anna and Sara held the first Cupcakes4Charity event in New York City at the Roger Smith Hotel. Through the power of social media, goodwill and cupcakes, they were able to raise $1,100 for the American Cancer Society.
If you don’t like the way something is on the internet, stand up. Say it, do it, get others to believe in your cause and you can and will enact change. You just have to want it and be willing to follow the dream of change.
Your identity online is not dependent on your name. The name you choose to call yourself online is not as important as the value you give those people who choose to “follow” you and listen to what you have to say.
