"To be visible. To be vocal. To refuse to be silent. To refuse to be silenced and to amplify stories from LGBTQ people of color." - Darian Aaron

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE? That's what the Atticus Investigates team, Reporter Matt Pearl and Digital Journalist LaPorsche Thomas asked nearly two dozen people regarding the conversation around race in America. This presentation and playlist offer voices from across the country -- from people of different ages, races, and backgrounds. The range of responses reflects a society grappling with its self-image as a land of liberty and the sense felt by so many that they're denied it.

INTRODUCTION:

Mr. David Johns of the National Black Justice Coalition is an educator, an unapologetic advocate for youths who far too often find themselves neglected or ignored, and so much more. We are honored to have him on this episode to talk about his passion for young people’s mental health and share with us the many important lessons that he learned in the process of helping them figure out their identities and navigate the environment in which they live and grow up in. Tune in to find out what he means when he says there is no such thing as a problem child, what parents can do to communicate better with their teenagers and kids, and other invaluable tools and insights in this episode.

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

Working with mental health in youths: Why it’s important to David.
Lessons learned in his work.
The omnipresence of white supremacy in data.
How you listen to learn and not listen to respond.
Why adults need to hold themselves accountable for their failures.
Why do we keep boxing our Black youths? How can we stop and do better?
QUOTABLES:

“Too often adults seek to solve problems for youths without ever asking them what's wrong. The question is usually, ‘What's wrong with you?’ We don't ask, ‘What's wrong?’”

“Whenever people talk about young people, for me, it's important that young people are able to talk for themselves and whenever young people are centered for me, it's important that people hold space for the fullness of their diversity.”

Amplify Ohio: Addressing Health Disparities Impacting Black & LGBTQ Communities

Hot Boxer
2 Views · 3 years ago

With help from the Local Media Association (LMA), three Ohio News Publishers are uniting together in a new initiative called “Amplify Ohio” with a goal of publishing stories together that focuses on health disparities impacting the local Ohio Black and LGBTQ communities they serve. Their collaborative storytelling will use available tools such as podcasts, videos, explainers and more.

On the business side, the LMA team will work with consultants to launch a community contribution portal for all three publishers: Black Girl Media, Columbus Black and the Buckeye Flame, with hopes to create a common technology stack and seamless user experience that can possibly be deployed in other local markets to help provide an innovative system for publishers to collaborate together on common topics.

In this segment of E&P Reports, publisher Mike Blinder chats with Nancy Lane, CEO of The Local Media Association who is helping fund and guide the project, along with: Shana Black, founder and publisher of Black Girl Media; Kevin Lloyd, founder and chief executive officer of Columbus Black and Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame speak on their common goals to help address the health care disparities their readers experience, plus other common topics of concern their communities share with each other.

Black LGBTQ Pioneers Promo

2 Views · 3 years ago

In celebration of Black History Month, Phillip Alexander Downie commemorates the Black LGBTQ pioneers who have exceeded the expectations placed upon them, and surmounted hurdles some called ‘impossible’ to overcome. In this two-part special we celebrate the remarkable people that have changed our path in history, and made the world a better place. Fighting for a voice in their time that sent cultural and artistic shockwaves, and inspiring the voices of the next generation with their actions and ideas—they have fought not to garner acclaim, but to promote love and equality.

This two-part special will be available in the coming days on MMC Channel 16 and on our YouTube channel.
