We don't have to have other people validating our stories. Controlling the narrative to me is so important, whether it was the documentary or this book, I just truly believe that.
What does it mean to lead with purpose? In this episode of 'Insideout Conversations', Lisa Lackey sits down with Ava Thompson Greenwell, a seasoned professor at Medill/Northwestern University and co-director of the South Africa Journalism Residency Program. Ava's journey is nothing short of inspiring.
From producing the documentary 'Mandela in Chicago', which dives into the city's anti-apartheid movement, to authoring 'Ladies Leading: The Black Women Who Control Television News', Ava’s work highlights the power and resilience of Black women in media. They delve into the intricacies of racism and gender bias within the news industry, shedding light on how narratives can be controlled and redefined.
Ava also opens up about a personal family experience with the police that left a lasting impact, emphasizing the importance of self-care and mental health. This episode is a rich tapestry of stories and insights, urging listeners to reflect on their own roles in challenging systemic issues. Tune in for a conversation that is as enlightening as it is empowering.
