Episode 9 Teaser - Black Representation in Media

February is African Heritage Month in Canada!  It's a small chunk of time each year dedicated to taking the time to reflect on Black contributions both past and present, and celebrate all manner of Black achievement.  African Nova Scotians have a rich history that continues to be revealed to this day.  My friend Morgan Jessome is a member of the media who incorporates that heritage into some of her work with Eastlink Television, and is a constant inspiration to me.  I've been wanting to have her on Out of Context since I first had the idea for it - we used to be radio co-hosts, after all!

In this episode, Morgan and I explore the meaningful work she's had the opportunity to do since we both graduated from Radio & Television Arts at NSCC (Nova Scotia Community College) in 2016, like a partnership with J School Noire.  We also discuss the realities of being multiracial in Canada, and the impact of growing up in white-dominated culture and society - something Morgan has been scratching the surface of recently, both in her personal life and her work.  It was great getting to connect with a beloved friend after over a year of not seeing each other in person, and to learn more about the work she's been doing since we saw each other last.
