In 2011, at just 12 years old, Alexa started a fashion blog; A Life in the Fashion Lane. It became a platform for Alexa to express her feelings around everything relating to teens, body image and mental health.
In 2018, Alexa founded the Be Fearless Summit, and also launched her own radio show on Radio Disney called BEFearless Every Day with Alexa Curtis, which was the first of its kind and broke new ground for the Radio Disney brand. Alexa interviewed various guests who shared their journey of overcoming obstacles/challenges and chasing after their dreams.
In this open and honest interview, Alexa gave us a little about her background and how she became interested in studying the impact of social media on mental health, including the fact that she was a victim of bullying. She was able to define the current relationship between social media usage and mental health and the specific effects that social media has on the mental health of teenagers and young adults.
The great news for parents, is that Alexa was able to offer some pointers as to how to stay in touch with your children’s social media activities and perhaps avoid them falling into the toxic well.
