How does this connect to our theme?
​
Our modern-day society revolves around social media. Thus, a video is the perfect way to spread ideas and activities. Spreading the knowledge of an idea may encourage individuals that were hesitant before, to join and express that side of them. As more and more people do this, the idea of judgement towards a growing community will eventually sound silly. And who knows; maybe these videos may enlighten somebody and maybe help form who they are and who they want to be!
