Feat/Add Official YouTube Social Link to Website and README

[iamdwaseem]

🚀 The feature

Proposed Changes

1️⃣ Website (Resonate-Website)

• Append a YouTube <a> element inside the .social-links div.
• Use a custom SVG icon consistent with existing social icons.
• Configure:
  • target="_blank"
  • rel="noopener noreferrer"
  • aria-label="YouTube"
• Maintain existing styling and formatting conventions.

2️⃣ README.md

• Add a YouTube badge at the top (if badges are used).
• Add the YouTube link under a "Connect With Us" section.
• Create the section if it does not exist.
• Keep formatting consistent with the current structure.

---

🎯 Expected Outcome

• YouTube icon appears alongside other social platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Discord, X).
• README reflects the official YouTube presence.
• No build errors, lint warnings, or UI regressions.

Motivation, pitch

YouTube is a powerful medium for community growth, outreach, and showcasing project work.
Adding the official channel link will:

• Improve discoverability for contributors and users
• Provide a centralized platform for tutorials, demos, and announcements
• Strengthen AOSSIE’s public presence and credibility
• Ensure consistent branding across all platforms

This is a small, focused enhancement with meaningful impact on engagement and visibility.
