I’m having the same thoughts. We are collectively (via media framing, social media promotion, interpersonal communication) opted into a countdown we didn’t consent to, a countdown to Black trauma that will undoubtedly trigger many.
Happy to share that next Thursday, February 2, I will be participating as a panelist with @ProjectRefocus_ in an essential discussion on how public health professionals can strengthen their relationships with multicultural journalist, especially during public health crises.
Calling all #publichealth and #healthcommunication scholars + practitioners! Our first #community conversation explores the role of multicultural journalists during public health #crises.
This virtual event is FREE but does require registration!
