I, along with two other students, Hanan Daher and Teia Hudson have spent the past months creating a podcast called ‘GEN Z: Let’s Increase Visibility’ discussing social issues affecting us and many others. The main reason why we decided to create our podcast was to inspire others in our community to talk about the world around us. We want to both educate and inspire intellectual conversations amongst our peers about social issues today. By understanding these social issues, we can know how to be better allies towards others in our community and work to build a better society. In our podcast, we speak on topics of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

Below is the first episode of our channel, the other episodes can be found on the channel.

The video is a PSA on air pollution disguised as a dramatized apocalyptic world caused by increased air pollution. I chose this topic because I think it’s important to discuss because this is an issue that affects not just all of us but especially those most susceptible and vulnerable to it. What I liked most about making this PSA was going with the apocalyptic style. I’ve recently been into apocalypse scenarios and I really wouldn’t hold anything against someone who believed this could actually happen. What I think could have been done better is time could have been managed better, but despite that, we all came through and our project came out great.

The global water crisis is an environmental justice issue because it’s necessary to have clean drinkable water to live, as well as a human right.
