We are excited to announce that we have teamed up with Cosmopolitan and Instagram to bring you The Positivity Index, our ultimate list of people striving to make the world of social media a better place.
Today we've revealed our list of 25 game-changing bloggers, influencers, and activists from all walks of life who have been empowering and inspiring others on social media. These include positivity champion Callie Thorpe, broadcaster and presenter Clara Amfo, Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, educator and disability activist Sinéad Burke, and basketball player, poet, and campaigner Asma Elbadawi.
We are proud to work alongside Instagram and Cosmopolitan on the Positivity Index, celebrating all those people who make Instagram a supportive and inclusive space. We want everyone to have a positive experience online, and during these uncertain times, initiatives like this are so important to help people do that.
Scott Freeman, CEO, The Cybersmile Foundation
The Positivity Index is published in the May issue of Cosmopolitan (on sale today), alongside tips from those featured on balancing the digital world with real life, and what it truly means to be happy.
Spreading positivity feels more important than ever right now. The Positivity Index, in partnership with Instagram and Cybersmile, aims to celebrate those people putting good things into the world, who make social media a better place and who truly believe change for the better is possible. Cosmopolitan is all about uplifting, empowering and championing young women everywhere and we feel there's never been a better time to loudly shout about those people who bring us joy.
Claire Hodgson, Editor-in-Chief, Cosmopolitan
We believe that we can never have too much uplifting and inspirational content! The Positivity Index features a range of talent guaranteed to brighten up Instagram feeds everywhere.
People have always used Instagram to share their stories and express themselves and we've recently seen how connecting people through the platform can be a powerful positive force. Now, more than ever, it's vital to shine a light on the people using Instagram for good and what better way to do this than The Positivity Index in partnership with Cosmopolitan and Cybersmile.
