What moved you to launch #HalfTheStory?

什么驱动你开展#HalfTheStory？

#HalfTheStory encourages you to show a piece of yourself in your social media story. In two words, it's life unfiltered. I started it when I was at Vanderbilt University, and trying to make a foray into the fashion world. I was writing a blog, and going to New York to cover Fashion Week, as well as for client meetings for my social media consulting business. But I realized that while the world saw me one way, I was feeling a completely different way behind the screen.

#HalfTheStory鼓励你在社交媒体故事中展示真实的自己。换个词：没有滤镜的生活。在范德比尔特大学的求学期间，我就开展了这项活动，试图进军时尚圈。当时我还在写博客、去纽约报导时装周、同时与顾客会面谈论社交媒体咨询业务。但我意识到，虽然这个世界是这样看待我的，但'屏幕背后'的我却是截然不同的一个人。
