The Young Woman Deleted By Instagram, Speaks Out
Cynthia Hornig replied on
Samm Newman, the young woman who made news headlines after being silenced and deleted from Instagram, agreed to share her side of her harrowing ordeal here in a Women You Should Know exclusive.
Despite the barrage of media coverage her account deletion received, it all but scratched the surface of the issue. In writing this candid piece for WYSK, Samm says, "I want to give you the opportunity to understand me, and the movement that I represent, a little bit better."
A lesson in bullying, empowerment and self-love that shouldn't be missed!
