Featured Speaker: GEORGIA FORT
The American media since its inception has exploited and misrepresented the image of black people on screen. Black face, typecasting, and newscasts saturated with black mugshots are ways media has perpetuated a false and inaccurate identity of African Americans. Media has at large served as a tool to dehumanize black people. Georgia Fort stated, it’s “…for those reasons and for my children and the future of our nation it is my duty to change the narrative. Creating visual stories about race and culture that build equity.” She is creating her own path as an independent journalist who is deeply connected to community
