6 Instagram accounts you should be following

Sure, Instagram is a great way to see your friend's new pup or get some outfit inspo, but it's also a great source for current news and insightful posts to get you thinking. It's definitely easy to fall into the trap of just following the celebs with the most followers and the influencers of the month, however it's also important that you're following accounts that inspire social and political change, ignite interesting conversations and tap into your creative side.
