This past Wednesday, Purpose hosted an all-star panel at the official Pre-Netroots Nation NYC Event. Purpose Senior Strategist and former Executive Editor of Feministing.com, Samhita Mukhopadhyay, moderated a lively discussion on how the Internet can change hearts and minds and how to create “sharable moments.” She was joined by Sally Kohn of CNN, Jay Smooth of Race Forward, Saeed Jones of Buzzfeed and Hayley Conway of All Out. The social media world was abuzz with news of the event. Here are our top 10 favorite tweets of the night.
