Monica Lewinsky joined Twitter 8 hours ago and already has over 32,000 followers and has been verified by the powers that be. Before speaking at the Forbes "Under 30 Summit," this week in Philadelphia, she tweeted her very first tweet, introducing herself to the crazy world of social media.

Monica Lewinsky Wasn't Too Happy About Being the Butt of a Joke on #OITNB

Her bio reads much differently than what America knows her to be and in her case especially, that's a great thing. She describes herself as a "social activist. public speaker. contributor to vanity fair. knitter of things without sleeves," and somehow, the 41-year-old is determined to move away from being the intern that "did not have sexual relations" with President Clinton.

Twitter may be the first step. For the first time, if she uses Twitter correctly, the public will be able to get a glimpse of who she is and how she's grown on a day-to-day basis. When she was 22, she made a horrible mistake, but other fallen public personas have been able to move on from their tragic behaviors by being putting themselves out there.

Yes, this means that they are subject to more criticism, but eventually the world moves on because they have other things to discuss. Exhibit A: Kim K.

Besides being a Hollywood rich girl, and the friend of Paris Hilton, no one knew who Kim Kardashian was until her most inimate moments with her former boyfriend Ray J were shared for all of us (even those who did not really want to) to see. But instead of running away and cowering in a corner, much like Lewinsky did before, she and her mom (Kris Jenner) came up with the genius idea to use her fame for their advantage and now, they are one of the world's most known and highly succesful brands.

Now, this is not to say that Lewinsky should do exactly what they did, but Twitter presents an opportunity for fans and foes to know more about who she is today. If she is motivational with her content, her followers--who now include Wendy Williams, E! News and Buzzfeed-- may even learn how to move on from unspeakable, humiliating drama from their pasts.

In fact, during her speech at the Forbes "Under 30 Summit", she said, "Perhaps by sharing my story, I reasoned, I might be able to help others in their darkest moments of humiliation. The question became: How do I find and give a purpose to my past?" Now, she is doing all she can to put a much needed end to cyber-bullying, and joining Twitter was the first step.

So, Monica Lewinsky, welcome to Twitter. Hope you are ready for the ride. Follow her, here.
