Rated R

Beyond Le Code

This podcast includes two guest speakers collaborators of the project Lili Spira and Rachael Cornejo. On this episode we will be discussing the global rise of mental health & well-being in the digital age.

We realize that each day as you lay on your bed you’re likely to view potentially harmful content from the Black Lives Matter movement. Triggering content from the sexual violence & femicide in Nigeria & various African countries.
There are discussions on digital & physical safety at protests & online activism. However very little is mentioned about psycho- social safety i.e. mental health. Neither are there resiliency tools needed to navigate content and be mentally prepared to keep on the fight.

.
The name of the project is Rated R for 2 reasons;
1. Just like the movie ratings, if a show has nudity or graphic violence it is Rated R. The same would be applied to all the violent content watched by users each day on social media.
2. It is a combination of 3 Rs: Resistance. Revolution. Resilience. The first 2Rs is our current reality. We need to be fortified with the last R to keep on fighting
We created a site that will launch soon with resources & fun toolkits listing ways to watch content, self-care check -ins and more. The show walks through what to expect on the site, how to navigate the content uploaded and exciting events lined up in coming months.

.

I hope you find the conversation useful as you continue the digital activism. We see you, We support you and We are proud of you!

The revolution is televised and we got your back!

From the Bay Area with Love,
