Episode 49: Over the last two months, there has been increased attention on Black Lives Matter. Today, however, the news cycle is beginning to divert its attention from the movement. This week, we spoke with Black Lives Matter NY President Nupol Kiazolu to determine how Black Lives Matter will move forward now that it isn’t “trending.”

Nupol is a powerhouse in the field of activism, from being on the front lines of the Charlottesville protests to taping “Do I look suspicious?” behind her hoodie in the wake of Travyon Martin’s death. She has been a leading voice among Generation Z, focusing on civil rights, domestic and sexual violence, and homelessness.

Along with being BLM’s Greater NY President, Nupol is Miss Liberia USA, the founder/CEO of her national campaign Vote2000, and the first HBCU student to be a part of Teen Vogue’s 21 under 21 list.

Episode 45: As difficult conversations about race, income inequality, and public health continue across the globe, we wanted to bring you an episode that highlights a unique aspect of this moment in time: digitalization. 

Social platforms have shown immense potential in raising donations and disseminating of crucial, often overlooked, information. However, when navigating online these days, a question still remains: how can we progress conversations about controversial topics instead of regressing to mere ad hominem?
