Young people face a lot of issues that aren't spoken about, however we focus on social media particularly and share the positive and negative effects it has had on us during the pandemic. Taking you through our journeys and sharing our personal experiences, listen to the honest real life conversations with Sanusia, DeMarkay, David and host Sneha Mervana.
Sanusia and Sneha share their experiences about solo travelling and breaking the stereotypes of women travelling alone, as well as talking about battles of their diverse cultural backgrounds and how it's affected them. DeMarkay speaks about West Indian cultures and the stereotypes we all have, plus he shares his journey through school and career challenges. And David takes us through intergenerational conversations with family and how he built a digital school using social media.
Producers: Laura, DeMarkay Williams, Sneha Mervana
Credits: Sneha Mervana, DeMarkay Williams, Sanusia Conteh, Bimbola Fadairo, David Adesanya, Amelia.
