READ THIS! BE A CREATOR..NOT JUST A USER!!

RW: If you just look at technology, especially social media, adoption among minorities, African-American [users] over-index. There are top technology platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook -- a little bit less on Facebook, but Twitter and Instagram especially -- where African-Americans over-index and were the influencers and were the drivers. A lot of them are entertainers. Long story short, we tend to be the users of early social platforms and technology platforms... mainly because of our need to connect with others like us.
