"Teen girls have solutions to save us from some of our biggest problems," says digital strategist Deja Foxx. Following her talk at TED2025, she joins Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, to discuss the power, innovation and intelligence of teen girls — especially
 amid a rise in online platforms censoring women's health and creativity. Foxx reflects on how she went viral for speaking up at a town hall meeting, talks about the importance of carving out space for a different kind of internet and shares some of the women-led
 platforms uplifting female creatives. She also explores her journey into politics and shows how anyone can practice civic engagement, both online and offline.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><b>READ</b>:

Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group

 are not directly targeted by the words or actions, we have a responsibility to take action in solidarity and find ways to use whatever privilege we have to take action and influence the person who did the harm. At times, that action may simply be calling out

When managing change initiatives, leaders need to engage and effectively utilize supportive stakeholders who are willing to reinforce key change messages and encourage others to try out and adopt new behaviors.  At the same time, leaders need to seek out, hear,
 and potentially act upon views that are in opposition to what the change is intended to accomplish or how the change is being implemented.
