With politics among the biggest stressors for Americans, and the political gender gap growing among young people, it can be hard to stay motivated when divisions feel more contentious than ever.
Few people understand that like Ella Emhoff, the daughter of former U.S. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and stepdaughter of former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Getting offline is a good first step.
“I think what has kept me the most invigorated around politics and just social change is seeing everyone else empowered by it, coming to things like ZCON and being able to talk about it,” Emhoff recently told CNBC Make It at the Gen Z-focused conference put on by United Talent Agency. “When we’re online, it can feel so insular and feel like everything’s happening to us, whether it be with immigration, with wars, with genocide, with the climate.”
With so much happening, Emhoff says she finds power in focusing on small changes within her control, and actions she can take toward them.
