Visual Momentum: How 37 Hours Can Change a Life – Generation TBD!


Listen Later


In this interview, I sit down with Melissa “Bunni” Elian to discuss her on-going project "Generation TBD", and how being a Multimedia Journalist has allowed her to not only document and affect change in lives — but also her own. We discuss her personal journey into photography, and how she is able to mitigate some of the challenges that come with being a young woman of color — with a camera.
