With every day that passes, media is gaining more and more power to fuel social issues. Boko Haram’s devastating kidnapping of 234 Nigerian schoolgirls outraged the world, igniting the #BringBackOurGirls social media petition which eventually gained enough momentum to attract the attention of Michelle Obama. Emma Watson’s impassioned UN address called on men everywhere to stand with women in the movement for gender equality and sparked the now ubiquitous #HeForShe campaign. Social media is proving again and again to be the best and most effective way to eliminate country borders, taking events happening across the world and dropping them in our own backyards. In large part, it is social media that has allowed our generation to become socially-conscious global citizens. We wanted SeneGAD to change with the changing times -- and with Queen Bey as its guiding star, this new GADGab, the birth child of visual art meets feminism, is the beginning.
