Lexi Underwood, the actress known for her role on Little Fires Everywhere, and Lovie Simone, from Selah and the Spades and Greenleaf, joined Girls United to discuss how they’ve been adjusting to life amidst the civil unrest and global pandemic.

When it comes to being mindful of mental health, Underwood explained how she copes.

Simone stated she uses her social media to promote positive images, and to make sure she’s not further traumatizing people.

“When I’m able to step away from social media, it became a lot easier to handle and not like I was carrying the weight of the world,” Simone stated as to how she balances life and social media.

Underwood stressed how you need to take time for yourself, and because we’re able to document everything that’s happening, Gen Z can use it as a platform, but be mindful to decompress.
