Are we seeing enough diversity in the media?  Traditionally, we’ve seen predominantly one race and one body type. For those of us that don’t fit that profile, who do we look to to fit in? Luckily things are changing (... slowly)!  In this episode, recorded with our friend Andrew, we talk about the lack of diversity in media and how we’re seeing changes.  Also, are Canadian shows more inclusive than American shows? What shows did you watch growing up and how has that influenced your life? Don’t forget to like and subscribe to be updated on new episodes! Want more?
