EPISODE 004 - "I Will Not Tolerate Any Northeast Slander" w Mary Yohannes _OURCALGARY
-
- Superación personal
Unfortunately, had some technical issues this week, but it was salvaged, hooray!
Our conversation for Episode 004 is with Mary Yohannes, a former journalist with the now dissolved Star Metro and prior to that, CBC Calgary. I wanted to speak with Mary because the last time I saw her, prior to the pandemic, she, like many young Calgarians was planning to leave. Obviously, young people’s voices are not monolithic, but I was especially interested to hear her reasons for wanting to leave - both as a racialized woman who grew up in Calgary - but also as a person who had a sense of the media landscape in the city. We talked about the impact of covid on those plans, her transition to work as a support worker for people living with addictions, representation in Calgary media, Kendall Jenner and a whole lot more in the interview.
Also, I forgot to mention this in the outro, but Mary wanted me to plug an organization that she's involved with the Calgary Ethiopian Youth Alliance:
