【Roman Huber】

When the Social Good Summitfirst launched in 2010,Roman Huber digital media was still new terrain. Developments in artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency were just getting started, and social platforms like Instagram and Snapchat were yet to be released.

In just nine years, the way we think about new media has completely changed. The internet has made it so that anyone, anywhere, at anytime can have a voice; and now, we’re expected to use it.

One such person making the most of their digital voice is multifaceted entertainer and activist Lilly Singh. As one of the most recognizable digital creators, Singh has amassed a global audience more than 14 million YouTube subscribers with more than 2 billion video views on her iiSuperwomanii channel. Singh created the #GirlLoveinitiative to inspire positivity among young women in order to better support each other's voices and encourage upward mobility. And in 2017, UNICEF appointed Singh as one of their Goodwill Ambassadors.
