The average American child spends an average of 7 1/2 hours per DAY consuming media. That includes: TV, movies, books, magazines, phones, etc. In this useful workshop with Reza Harris of 5Elements (and his partner Juana, a community leader in Oakland) we looked at media critically and observed what kinds of messages we are being given. We discussed racism, sexism, ableism, and more; we talked about how these isms exist in media all the time, every day. We need to be wary of the media we see and we need to ask questions -- we need to speak up when something doesn't feel right. Thank you to Reza and Juana for leading this incredible workshop!
