  • 14. Social media activism: is it genuine or forced?
    We're back for another episode and this week we have some special guests- Chichi and Ifemidé!
    We discuss what the role of activism in the age of social media has played in mobilising human rights movements, online and offline and what happens when solidarity and awareness online isn’t backed with offline activism. Does it then become performative and opportunistic?
