What We Do DOES Make A Difference!

Protect the children even the celebrity ones

There is power in numbers that is the un-official scientific law of society and of course politics. As bloggers and vloggers we can now command a lot of attention based on what we post and what people say about what we post.

The attention we receive will allow us bragging rights, monetary compensation or popularity but that’s not all.

Even though we have the freedom to say what we want we still have a social responsibility to remain diligent in not perpetuating negativity about any child even if the child is considered a celebrity.

The best example of this is little Blue Ivy Carter who, before she is even old enough to create a full sentence, is being chastised in the public eye for the way her parents choose to care for her hair.

Comparatively we have had great success speaking candidly about the little girl turned away from her school because of her choice in hair style; we supported her and her parents, made attempts at boosting her confidence and lending our support to the changes that need to happen at her school.

There is clearly a difference between these two children but when we show support it should be across the board despite issues of class or money. As bloggers if we have a post that consistently attracts negativity, it makes sense to heavily moderate or close commenting in the post.

In an effort not to say too much about what is said, there should be some discretion when we post pictures of children and when we comment on pictures about children.

Teach most times

This is mostly geared towards our media creators who might be surprised at how beneficial something that you know can help someone else, we know that gossip sells but knowledge is what people instinctively want.

Never think that what you know is too small to impact someone’s life. A YouTube video demonstrating an easy way to wash your brushes and combs, or showing your winter hair routine, or just how to organize your hair products at home are sometimes the most popular on YouTube because they are practical and everybody has the same problem you happen to be addressing.
