In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Christine McWhorter, Associate Professor of Broadcast Journalism at Howard University, whose journey from working inside a media organization to researching media effects and race in media has made her one of the most important voices on this topic right now.
Today, we're diving deep into media harm, and the power of telling our own stories. This isn't just about technology. It's about our narratives, and who gets to shape how the world sees us. We talk about why AI should be a tool and never a crutch, why the same script is showing up on news stations across the country, and why the Black press often carries the stories no one else will touch. Dr. McWhorter also shares her new book, Building Critical Race Media Literacy, which helps parents, educators, and journalists spot and challenge racial bias in the media.
Remember, this is a "When My Sistah Wins, We All Win" episode, and Dr. McWhorter is a shining example of a Sistah using her gifts to lift up the whole Community. This conversation will change how you scroll, how you share, and how you support the voices that look like you. Listen in NOW: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
