Gabriela Nguyen is the 24-year-old founder of Appstinence, a Gen Z-led student organization of the Harvard Graduate School of Education that promotes social-media free lifestyles. She coined the term “appstinence” to describe living without social media, a lifestyle that she began practicing after being chronically online for 10 years. With members on every continent (except Antarctica), Appstinence has inspired people across generations to opt out of the attention economy.
She will be speaking about Appstinence at The New York Times Well Festival this coming May 7th. The livestream can be accessed through your NYT subscription.
