This week, we’re excited to share Episode 5, where we delve into amplifying marginalized perspectives in journalism. As we approach the final episode of Season 1, now is the perfect time to catch up on all the insightful conversations from this season. You can find us on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform!
In this episode, we’re joined by two remarkable guests who are redefining the media landscape: Uyiosa Elegon, the Marketing and Development Director at Shift Press, and Giannina Ong, the Editor-in-Chief of Mochi Magazine. Both are passionate advocates for amplifying voices that are often silenced, and lead publications that are correcting narratives around youth and Asian American communities.
Uyiosa Elegon is a trailblazer in Houston’s media scene, set on creating a robust youth media ecosystem. “Things are not pulled into the mainstream of dialogue unless it really, really bothers adults,” he notes. Uyoisa points out a “starvation” among youth and organizers for more storytelling opportunities that platform and respect young voices, making them vulnerable to adult-centric narratives that detract from youth power-building.
