New Episode! ??‍?Today I share with you a reflection on mass media's role on covering trauma, racial injustice and downplaying the rising social & state inequalities around the world.  
✨What we're feeding of?  
✨Are we aware of the current shift from COVID-19 fearful narratives to "anger", "rage", "fury" taking over the streets in protests? 
✨Why framing photos and videos on burning buildings and damage to public property is saying about the value of bodies and freedom of speech?
 ✨Activist Tamika Mallory said "we learned violence from you", are we aware of what the cycle of violence entails and how can we break free from it?  ✨How deep are racial & social wounds elsewhere? How can we know if most mass media focus is Euro-centric, Anglo-centric, Andro-centric?  ✨How can we talk about solidarity of nations and the need for a global leadership if this pandemic is showing the cracks in Imperial visions of "spheres of influence"?
✨How long can we continue being fed this cocktail of poisonous views and war journalism narratives that seeks to demonize, downplay and judge the Other... by what it does or what it doesn't do, by what it has and it doesn't have, by who or what it is?
✨Are we really prepared for a change to the status quo or are we ready to go back to our previous ways because uncertainty is "too hard to handle"?
✨How willing are we to unlearn previous and harmful ways and how ready are we to... bridge, build & break free?   I hope these questions sparks some more questions within you as it did within me.
