Description
This is the podcast where each week we'll meet a guest who’ll help us pay attention to something we should know about, but maybe don’t.    This week, for our final episode of season 3, we're talking about online learning; how education content on social media has evolved in recent years, being placed on a pedestal as a person with a platform, and how to make sure the information we're sharing is reliable. Blair Imani is an author, historian, activist and educator. You might know her best from online video series Smarter in Seconds. Since 2020 Blair has used this series to educate viewers on topics ranging from cultural appropriation to gender expression and far beyond. Her latest book, 'Read this To Get Smarter', aims to help readers become more informed, socially conscious people and covers topics including race, class, gender and disability.  If you want to learn more, here's where to find Blair and her recommendations:  Instagram: @blairimani Website: blairimani.com Twitter: Blair Imani Something to read: All The White Friends I Couldn't Keep - Andre Henry Something to watch: Till - Upcoming movie Something to listen to: Britney Spears & Elton John - Hold Me Closer   Get involved and join in the conversation: Follow @gemmastyles @goodinfluencegs and send in your messages and questions to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
