Don't Trend On My Culture, aka that time I was on Al Jazeera.



In case you missed it, I was a guest on Al Jazeera English's social media news show The Stream yesterday. I was super nervous going into it, but ended up having a lot of fun and feeling like my voice was actually heard for once.

The host asked some tough questions, like "In a multi-cultural society, isn't a certain level of cultural appropriation to be expected?" and the dreaded headdress-blackface connection, but I'm fairly happy with the way the whole interview went.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
