Skills to navigate the digital world

Bilawuk Social Media Education is a Generation Rise Program. This program equips young people with the skills to navigate the digital world safely and powerfully. Through hands-on workshops in content creation, personal branding, and online storytelling, youth learn how to use social media to amplify culture, build careers, and create impact — instead of falling into the trap of negative digital influences.

OUR PROGRAM

Bilawuk Social Media Education

The name ‘Bilawuk’ comes from the language of the Mak Mak people — it’s J-MILLA’s Grandmothers skin group and the middle name of his daughter, Blossom.

It’s about turning screen time into career-building time, and empowering the next generation of content creators, changemakers, and cultural voices.
