Show Notes

Expressing yourself can be hard, especially if it seems like other people are always deciding what is best for you and telling you who you are. As a research and social outreach initiative of the department of Media Arts at the University of North Texas, the Youth Media Lab seeks to educate young people from marginalized communities about the media they consume and how they can create their own to advocate for themselves.
