Cooper explained that “Every day I interact with countless young people who push the boundaries behind the stereotypes and misconceptions we often hear about Gen Z.”

Also, she added, “Gen Z is the revolutionary voice of a new generation.”

“Their voices and opinions should be supported with content designed for them in ways that are unique to their values, interests and passions.”

What is the Unwell Network?

Firstly, Alex told Deadline that she wanted to create a platform for content that had a unique perspective.

“We live in a world where we are inundated with content, but The Unwell Network will be the source everyone can go to for unique perspectives exploring what’s top of mind today for this generation.”

Secondly, Gen Z is aiming to embrace the social challenges facing them through the ‘unwell network’.
