Ema Zajmovic on her vision to help girls manage social media pressures

Lee Davy catches up with the World Poker Tour Champions Club member Ema Zajmovic at 888Live Barcelona to talk about poker, politics, and her desire to help young people develop self-respect.

I’m one of those parents trying to live the unfulfilled parts of my seesaw life vicariously through my children. It’s not like I have a scimitar held at their throats – it’s more subconscious than that, and that creates more misery because most of the time I am unaware.

As a self-imposed veteran of life, I think I know it all. I know that a few too many Gin & Tonics means you will end up impregnating someone behind the bus stop. I know one too many Marlboros leads to lung cancer. And if you keep posting idiotic selfies on social media then you will grow up lacking self-esteem.

My teenage son, Mr Congeniality, reminds me frequently, that I have no idea what it’s like to grow up as a teenager in the year 2017.  Pause. Think.
