Blossom the Project: A quick look at educational social media By Kim Bartos In honor of pride month, I’d like to take the time to tell you all about an amazing resource I’ve used to not only educate myself, but also spread awareness of tons of content related to gender equality, sexuality, mental health, and social issues. This is “Blossom the Project.”
What is it? Blossom the Project is a gorgeous Instagram account created by social activist Meg, or Nakagawa-Hoffman Ai (@megsdottir). The account typically focuses on themes including but not limited to mental health and social issues. It sits currently at an impressive 70.7k followers.
What does it do? Blossom the Project uploads easy-to-digest content paired with original illustrations that cover a variety of current as well as historical events in both Japanese and English. These posts provide information to educate yourself and others, and often provide helpful methods to take care of one’s own mental health—such as using words of affirmationself-care ideas, etc.
