I recently had the opportunity to chat with Rob Eschmann, Associate Professor at Columbia University and the esteemed author of "When the Hood Comes Off: Racism and Resistance in the Digital Era." \n\nOur discussion delved into the intricate intersections of technology, activism, and personal ideologies. We explored how technology is shedding light on the prevailing state of racism in society and the transformative role of social media in empowering grassroots movements for change. We also talked about the complexity and resistance to change, even when faced with new information or concrete data.\n\nI invite you to join us as we navigate the digital landscape and its positive impact on accountability for understanding diverse experiences. This is a conversation you won't want to miss.\n\nSo, dive into our conversation and discover how the digital world is reshaping our understanding of race, identity, and activism.
