Ep 13 - Decolonizing Communication - Farah Mahesri

Farah Mahesri sits down with Rupande to talk about the very important nuance of decolonizing communication - what does it mean, why is it so important and what place it holds in our world as we move to a more awakened society that seeks to place diversity, equality and decolonization.

Farah explains how aid organizations can decolonize communication and shift the balance of power, furthering development and internationalization. She talks about what decolonization means in the context of the current conflict in Palestine as well as the universal importance of stories and narratives.
