“It’s not just me that gets harmed by those comments, it’s the people that are reading them that might be feeling vulnerable.”
Actor, comedian, and educator Karen O’Leary knows firsthand what it’s like to be targeted online by misogynistic and homophobic comments and what the impact can be on her family and those who look up to her.

Karen continues standing up for what she believes in, advocating for herself and others, and having confidence.
