AUDIO
i discovered the power of audio as a medium during my first year of college. eager to immerse myself into the realm of audio storytelling while creating meaningful change, i decided to start my own podcast,
“More Than Meets the Eye.”
definition: a social justice podcast that aims to uplift stories and connect communities through the use of investigative journalism and raw storytelling. for each episode, i invite a different guest that either provides information about or shares their experiences with varying issues of injustice. my ultimate goal is to show that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to inequality within our society.
