A Three-Part Digital Privacy Party

Five-Minute Projects for Today, Tackling the Bigger Stuff, and Setting Yourself Up Long-Term

Whether you're emailing about your upcoming season choices or sending tasteful nudes to that special someone, you deserve to know that your chats, emails, and digital identity are free from prying eyes. But when the biggest Peeping Toms these days are the platforms we use, it can be hard to feellet alone takeagency over our online existences.

It's an overwhelming task, especially if youlike mehave been weaving your online identity into these platforms for over a decade. But if youlike mehave a petty streak, it may be motivating to remember: these companies profit when you believe that protecting your privacy is an impossible task. 

It's not. I'm here to help you break this overwhelming task into little steps, and give you the motivation and space to reclaim your online identity.

In this series, we'll talk about why it's important to protect our right to privacy for ourselves and our community, and also give you space and time to take immediate actions. Have you been meaning to install a VPN or set up a password manager? We'll make space for that. Do you keep forgetting to change the passwords on your online bank accounts? Do it while we're on this call. Don't leave the tab open in the background for monthsjoin the party and get it done.

Some of the solutions will be easy, and some will take a little more investment. But each little action you take becomes a part of your commitment to a better future.
