Representation + Exposure = Normalization

In this episode, we have a lowkey discussion amongst the four of us on our thoughts and opinions on representation in media. The media has a strong grasp on how the public views pop culture, foreign affairs, politics, and more. Representation in media is not only a means of diversifying industries but also allowing minorities to reclaim their voices. To critically examine what we consume as a populace is necessary to fight misinformation and divisive thoughts. As teens living in the digital age, we should refrain from maintaining an insular mindset. Disclaimer: This episode is not a comprehensive thinkpiece or analysis of representation in media. The intention of this episode is to air out our perspectives to share with our small audience.
