What this episode covers
Locelle, a women-only social networking platform founded by Humaira Ahmed, aims to help women find like-minded friends way easier. Beta testing begins in June, with a public launch planned for this fall. Personal experiences, and the fact that feelings of loneliness and isolation are known to be increasingly problematic, Ahmed began thinking of what a women-only social networking platform would look like and how it could make forming meaningful friendships a little easier. Perhaps the world is ready for an app that actually seeks to connect us, instead of making us feel lonelier. Join me as we learn about what spurred and inspired Humaira to create this incredible app and how teachers can become inspired to make change, themselves.
