Oriol Pamies is a prominent influencer who focuses on his work as a LGBT rights activist. Like many people, Oriol started using social media to connect with family and friends, but soon found that it would be a powerful tool to share a message he believed in.
He helped to found Moovz, a LGBT social network that aims to create a supportive and respectful global community. Oriol believes that “social media allows you to inspire, get inspired, support and get supported. When we show ourselves living our life freely on social media we can encourage other people that might be afraid of being true to themselves.”
Further, he says that he is frequently the recipient of “tons of messages from people around the world that are not living in an accepting environment,” and that “social media allows me having the possibility to help them out and make them feel better.”
