Emma Lembke

Emma Lembke is a Gen Z pioneer in youth digital wellness who has rapidly emerged as one of the most influential young voices advocating for healthier social media use. At just 17, she channeled her own struggles with social media addiction into founding the LOG OFF Movement in 2020, an international organization that empowers young people to develop healthier relationships with technology.

Her impact has grown far beyond LOG OFF's initial scope. As co-founder of Digital Wellness Warriors and a member of the Gen Z Board of the Sustainable Media Center, Lembke bridges the gap between youth experience and policy action. In February 2024, she brought her powerful perspective to the Senate Judiciary Committee, testifying about social media's impact on teen mental health and the urgent need for change.

What sets Lembke apart is her ability to transform personal struggle into systemic change. Starting with her own experiences of social media addiction at age 12, she has built a movement that combines youth advocacy, peer support, and policy reform. Her work demonstrates that Gen Z isn't just living with social media's challenges - they're leading the charge to solve them.
