Introduction

Representation and diversity in media play a crucial role in shaping the self-worth and perception of children. We're continuing our in-depth discussion with Amber O'Neal Johnston about her book, “A Place to Belong.” We’re delving into the importance of representation, the impact of media algorithms, the benefits of innovative education methods, the significance of discussing hard history, the concept of slow travel and world schooling, and the importance of affinity spaces.
