Hogging the pillow market

Yesterday afternoon, David Hogg tweeted "Second start up and I still can’t drink." This was after he had spent the day tweeting about the Trump supporting pillow guy and how it was time to give him some competition. This wasn't about getting rich. This was about social justice, because that's who David Hogg is.

David Hogg was a high school student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL when the 2018 shooting occured killing 17 people and injuring another 17. Hogg survived the shooting and since has helped lead several high-profile boycotts, protests, marches, and other actions. He currently is a student at Harvard University.

There is a whole lot more about David Hogg than I can say in this small space. He and his sister wrote a book. He frequently speaks out on issues of injustice. Today was a huge step as he took on a big company. I've never met David Hogg (although I would like to some day), but today I watched his tweets tell a very inspiring story. All the pillow company story hasn't been told yet, but Hogg tweeted at tech entrepreneur William LeGate would be joining him and that the new company would have "Unionized workers based in the US, Sustainable sourcing, and help fund social good.

Did the Parkland shooting form the David Hogg we know today? Well in another tweet Hogg said "Gun violence doesn't define me- I do.  People are much more than their trauma." And he had some thoughts for our future saying "I hope other young people with PTSD can look at me as an example of what we can do with the right help, friends and therapy."
