Creating Inclusive Communities Online - with Val Elefante from Lips!

We are thrilled to bring you this episode with Val Elefante, the head of growth and community management at Lips! Lips is an awesome new social media platform designed for women, non-binary folks and the LGBTQIA+ community that allows for open and honest expression without bias, censorship or harassment. The platform is amazing, and so is Val! We talk about that, why it's important to have an alternative to the mainstream social media platforms, but also her white picket fence upbringing that lead to her producing ethical porn as part of her thesis.
