In this episode of FMC Fast Chat, delve into the issue of how social media is proving to be toxic to women, girls and nonbinary people, and the steps we need to take to remedy the situation. Host Jaci Clement interviews communication professor Kara Alaimo, Ph.D., author of the newly released book, 'Over the Influence: How Social Media is Toxic for Women and Girls -- And How We Can Take It Back.'
