Hello and welcome back to another episode of Control Alt Delete. So today's guest is Scarlet Curtis.

She is a writer, an L-U-K contributor, and a blogger, and an activist. In today's episode we talk about campaigning, collaboration, the competitiveness that social

media brings out of us, the influence of having parents who are very active in the charity space,

her dad, the filmmaker Richard Curtis and script writer Emma Freud play a big role in not-for-profit

organizations such as Comic Everyone and the Global Goals.

We also discuss our behaviors online and and the that you can create via the internet and how blogging and having people online to talk to can

actually be a massive help when you're going through a really terrible time in your life.

We also talk about an initiative that Scarlet has launched very recently this week in fact called

the Un Idol Collective. This has been founded by Emma Bates Arden Rose and

Scarlet to discuss political and personal issues affecting the world and this week was the first one, the first meetup.

It was really great. We discussed things like intersectional feminism, the refugee crisis,

sustainability, politics, working parents and lots more.

It's about doing something, however small, and about incorporating activism into your daily life.

So I hope you enjoy this episode and long time coming in
