Inspired by the Taylor Swift fan tradition of trading bracelets at The Eras Tour concerts, India creates and sells bracelets and donates 50% of sales to She’s the First, a nonprofit organization that makes sure girls everywhere are educated, respected, and heard.  Sabrina chats with India and Tara about how Taylor Swift inspires them to fight for girls’ rights globally, how India became known as “The Tiny CEO,” and how fandom and social impact has brought them closer together as mother and daughter.

    Can We All Be Philanthropists? with Mariah Carey Fan Amy Schiller

    We are so back! On the season 2 premiere of Fandom Made Me, Sabrina Cartan talks about fixing philanthropy with Amy Schiller, author of The Price of Humanity: How Philanthropy Went Wrong–and How to Fix It. Known on the Internet for her pop culture takes such as “Beyonceder” and a viral Atlantic essay on American Girl dolls, Amy answers some of our most pressing questions, namely, why don’t average and working class Americans consider themselves philanthropists? Together, they delve into the little-known history of working class philanthropy and how small dollar donations funded the Statue of Liberty, ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and how a “giving wage” can change the way we live. A devoted Mariah Carey fan, Amy proposes a special Christmas-themed philanthropy project for Her Majesty, the Queen of Pop.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Henry Jenkins on the Future of Fandom & Media Consumption

    It's the Season 1 finale of Fandom Made Me! Host Sabrina Cartan invites author and USC Professor Henry Jenkins to reflect on Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide, his widely celebrated book that changed the way we think about the relationship between media and fandom. Together, Henry and Sabrina talk about what's changed in the 17 years since the book's release and cover some hot media tips, such as: the Barbenheimer phenomenon, whether AI is a form of transformative work, white supremacist violence in fandoms like Star Wars and gaming communities, fan reactions to Netflix's password sharing ban, how piracy is a missed market testing opportunity for studios, and how fandom can be a form of diplomacy when media is a soft power.  Follow Henry's blog:  http://henryjenkins.org/ Follow Fandom Forward: http://fandomforward.org/ Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/fandomforward Follow Sabrina on social media: instagram.com/sabrinacartan twitter.com/sabrinacartan Hosted on Acast.
