RISE ABOVE THE NOISE: The Normalization of Failure & Black Inferiority in the Media
Message Media Ed presents…
RISE ABOVE THE NOISE
"The Normalization of Failure & Black Inferiority in the Media"
In an effort to create a safe space for cultural healing and shifts in consciousness, we present a Rise Above the Noise. Our purpose is to discuss and critically analyze issues affecting the nationwide black community and the role corporate American media plays in creating those issues. With a goal of identifying healthy solutions, participants practice critical thinking, engage in discourse and become media literate. Come prepared to share, reflect and transform as we discern the motivation behind and impact of media campaigns aimed to ensure white privilege, financial gain and power, and simultaneously limit advancement and cultivate consumerism in the black community.
Facilitated by Shani Byard-Ngunjiri, MS
Founder/Executive Director of Message Media Ed.
All donations support the vision of Message Media Ed to cultivate the capacity in youth, adults and seniors of African descent to skillfully diversify, lead and innovate in the 21st Century community, classroom and workplace.

>>RISE ABOVE THE NOISE
Sunday, April 25th @ Vegan Village Cafe, community members participated in Rise Above the Noise: Your Health & Global Warming and engaged in an authentic conversation about the eating habits, media influence and disease impacting the Black community. After a session of reflection, we screened portions of the film, Eating (a documentary that makes a direct link between cancer and an animal-based diet), and shared our learning on how to counter food-related media influence on our youth over a scrumptious vegan meal.
Two of my favorite quotes from post-evaluations completed at Rise Above the Noise are, "I am awakened" and "A must have intervention lesson." To all of the participants: I'm honored to have learned from you as we journey together on a path toward health in the Black community, regardless of media messages. Knowledge, change, action begins today-start somewhere... Ashe
Stay tuned for the date and location of the next Rise Above the Noise: Black Inferiority and the Normalization of Failure.
