  2. Mind Over Matter: Mental Health In The Media

    24/08/2022

    Mind Over Matter: Mental Health In The Media

    Previously on Geeks Represent, we've talked about the importance of health especially when it comes to people of color. However, one of the most neglected aspects of health is that of the mind. If the last few years have shown us anything, it's that our mental health cannot be taken for granted, and that people of color have been particularly vulnerable due to both systemic racism and culture norms. That's why it's so important that mental health issues are accurately portrayed in the media in order to spread awareness and understanding.

    Dark Elves But No Black Elves?: A Look At Racism in Sci-Fi/Fantasy

    It's no secret that we love fantasy and science fiction in all its forms here at Geeks Represent not only for its entertainment value but for its rich commentary on our society by reimagining our past, remodeling our present or reshaping our future. However, like anything else good created by mankind, it can be perverted by the specter of racial bias from both creators and fans alike and may lead to our cultural destruction if not addressed. So without further ado, let's take a look at racism in science fiction and fantasy. Listeners, what are your thoughts on today's episode? Leave your comments below!

    If the past two years have taught us anything, it's that our lives are heavily dependent on our healthcare. We literally can't live without it!

    ...But Not Too Black! Colorism in Film and TV

    We've talked a lot about race when it comes to casting choices in movies and television. And aside from some missteps, we are seeing more diversity and representation in the last few years.
