There Are No Girls on the Internet She Called a Black Child a Slur — Then Raised $700K. Kiandria Demone Is Saying ‘Not Today.’
Welcome to Season 5 of There Are No Girls on the Internet
We're kicking things off with a powerful and timely conversation.
Bridget speaks with activist, entrepreneur and creator Kiandria Demone, the visionary behind the viral #SquareUpForJustice campaign. After a white woman in Minnesota hurled a racial slur at a 5-year-old Black child and then raised nearly $1 million online, Kiandria stepped up to challenge the systems that made it possible.
Her campaign holds payment platforms accountable for enabling and profiting from hate. In this episode, Kiandria explains why this isn’t just a race issue—it’s a tech accountability issue. She shares how her digital activism is helping expose and shut down racist profiteering, and what it means to find strength in online communities during heavy times.
