Social media doesn’t have to be toxic- trust me, I’m an influencer | Eli Rallo | TEDxUofM

Eli Rallo is a 23 year old NYC-based full time content creator on Instagram and TikTok and podcast host of podcast 'Miss Congeniality'. She is currently in the process of writing her first book-an advice based personal essay book covering dating, sex and relationships, and is signed to Park and Fine Literary Media. Her passions have remained in uplifting and supporting women and helping them to see their worth, and feel empowered and confident. She is a proud graduate of the University of Michigan class of 2020 and Columbia University Journalism School class of 2021. Her TEDx talk was inspired by her choppy relationship with social media, from toxicity to full time career, and how she makes sense of social media as it relates to the self esteem and confidence of young women. Eli Rallo is a social media content creator on Instagram (@eli.rallo) and Tiktok (thejarr). Not only does she host a podcast called The Miss Congeniality, but she is also a freelance writer. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 2020 with a degree in theatre art from the SMTD and minors in playwriting, creative writing, and political science. She pursued her passion for journalism and earned her masters degree at the Columbia University Journalism School in 2021. Outside of her busy schedule, she loves to run, eat wedge salads and talk about her IUD. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Every time I see a video titled something about social media being OK and not toxic usually comes from an influencer not wanting you to be off any social media so they can make more money.

I'm over 40. I'm not being influenced by ANYONE.

[@burrsplaylist]

She is toxic on social media so I don't understand the point of this talk or how she even got the opportunity to do it

[@julietockendon7311]

How is she toxic on social media?

[@blindedeathh]

I have never seen her online before until this video but I think this is what she tells herself to make it through life instead of just facing her issues alone instead she just gets high off getting likes and views online.

What a soap box. 🙄
