Amina has been chronically online since age 10, when Wattpad and fanfic became lifelines in a world that didn’t always feel so friendly IRL. Now 25, they remain a fangirl through and through, drawn to the joy, weirdness, and creativity that thrive in online spaces. With a background in nonprofit marketing, fundraising, and research, they’re especially interested in how the internet can stay a place for collective imagination and connection without becoming a breeding ground for harm. The rise of doxxing and public shaming scares them not just because it’s dangerous, but because it threatens the kind of joyful, human internet they grew up loving. They believe in freedom, creativity, and critical thinking but also in the power of simply being kind to one another. As our lives become more and more digitally entangled, they’re rooting for an internet where we show up for each other, build things together, and have a damn good time doing it.
