Welcome to Touch Grass, a mini series where we explore the implications of being chronically online with the creatives who can’t escape it.

In this episode, host Lauren Meisner interviews Sami Jenkins— a video producer, content creator, and founder of Wilty Meetups, a grassroots community that creates safe spaces for connection.

Through this conversation, Sami takes us through her unexpected venture into content creation, navigating an extroverted industry as an introvert, and how she’s become a community facilitator for other socially anxious young people in Melbourne.

Touch Grass is brought to you by BRITA: www.brita.com.au⁠/
