Kesha is coming to SXSW! She’s joining an exciting panel on March 11 discussing Fighting Loneliness in Our Digital World.

As society experiences a multi-generational loneliness epidemic, the exploration of its complex roots and paths forward are crucial. Because of that, Feeld CEO Ana Kirova will host a SXSW panel exploring how identity, mental health, and modern digital spaces shape our ability to form meaningful connections. 

Panelists include: award-winning musician and advocate Kesha, writer, performance artist, and media personality Alok Vaid-Menon, and mental health educator Minaa B. LMSW.

Topics of discussion at the official SXSW panel include:

• How digital platforms both help and hinder deep human connection—and what needs to change.
• The intersection of mental health & relationships—why conventional structures don’t meet today’s needs.
• The role of identity & marginalization—how different lived experiences impact feelings of isolation.
• The future of connection—how platforms like Feeld are creating safer, more inclusive spaces.
