from Note to Self
We couldn’t close out No Filter, our series on women owning it online, without profiling Jasmyn Lawson, former culture editor at Giphy. That's the search engine that houses all those looped videos we use to express emotion - and ourselves - online.

So she made her own. Jasmyn Lawson (Ryan Pfluger)
