Today I will be responding to my classmate, Kelly’s, post.  I found her topic about social media and hyper-sexualization not only fascinating, but also extremely relevant.  As a young women in a day and age where media has overtaken our world, I am constantly checking/updating/looking at social media.  On this social media, it is very normal … Continue reading »
