Rising Star Shyla Day: 5 Things We Can Each Do To Make Social Media And The Internet A Kinder And More Tolerant Place

Don’t comment negatively on something that somebody can’t change in 10 seconds. Sure, if someone has lipstick on their teeth- please tell them! They’ll appreciate you. They won’t appreciate you, however, if you tell them you think they’d be prettier 50 pounds thinner.

As a part of my interview series about the things we can each do to make social media and the internet a kinder and more tolerant place, I had the pleasure to interview Shyla Day.

Shyla Day is a young award-winning singer/songwriter, TikTok Influencer, TEDx Speaker, best-selling author, and International Humanitarian. Her personal brand has garnered over 27 award nominations, distribution in 189 countries, landed her book and music in the largest retailers in the world, has endorsements from some of the most influential thought leaders in the world- and has made an impact on millions through thousands of charitable organizations globally. Shyla led a passionate talk on the TEDx platform with over 26 million subscribers, called “Music for Global Impact”, where she sparks conversation on unconventional humanitarian efforts- as a result, she was honored as “International Humanitarian of the Year” at the prestigious Fire Awards. Examples of other supported causes and initiatives include funding a dormitory for girls in Uganda, clean water, encouraging youth from all over the world to stand up to social issues that are important to them, education, a safety-audit that protected over 2.1 million students in the state of California, and much more! Shyla’s current projects include socially-conscious music activist series highlighting many causes. Claes Nobel, of the Nobel Prize Family, stated “Shyla…represents our very best hope for the future”. After 4 fans-choice nominations, 1M followers across platforms, and a multitude of radio, television, and media features we can easily say Shyla Day is one to watch!
