WAKE UP TO REALITY

With over 2.7 billion smartphone users worldwide, social media plays a massive part in people's day-to-day lives. And with algorithms creating such a personalized experience, every individual has a different journey. Due to this journey being so tailored, it can sometimes make people feel alone in their experiences and impact negatively on their mental health.
