• February 2020
Somya Bhagwagar is the founder of @StudentsofUmich, a storytelling blog on Instagram and Facebook. Inspired by Humans of NY, she aims to use technology to build human connections by paralleling storytelling to technopolitics. As people become more polarized in their views due to social media algorithms, Somya lives with the mindset that ‘even missing the tiniest bit of a story can completely change the narrative.' She seeks to show that there is always more than one side to the story.
