Beyond the Talk: Deja Foxx on finding alternative online spaces

"Teen girls have solutions to save us from some of our biggest problems," says digital strategist Deja Foxx. Following her talk at TED2025, she joins Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, to discuss the power, innovation and intelligence of teen girls — especially amid a rise in online platforms censoring women's health and creativity. Foxx reflects on how she went viral for speaking up at a town hall meeting, talks about the importance of carving out space for a different kind of internet and shares some of the women-led platforms uplifting female creatives. She also explores her journey into politics and shows how anyone can practice civic engagement, both online and offline.
