In an era dominated by constant streams of information, it's crucial to recognize the powerful role the media plays in shaping our views. Media outlets, with their ability to frame stories and set agendas, hold the key to influencing public opinion. However, this influence comes with a caveat – the potential for misinformation. From selective reporting to the perpetuation of biases, media outlets can inadvertently alter our understanding of events. It's essential to approach information with a critical eye, recognizing that not all narratives are neutral. By cultivating media literacy, we empower ourselves to distinguish between fact and fiction. Let's actively seek diverse perspectives, question framing, and be wary of sensationalism. Together, we can navigate the media landscape and foster a more informed and discerning society. #MediaLiteracy #InformationAge #CriticalThinking

A few months ago, two different Black women who are in non manager roles asked to speak with me to learn how I navigated my career to work in senior management roles. They shared they were frustrated because they out worked their white peers and successfully completed work deliverables but never got promoted. As a Black woman who has worked in the corporate world for twenty years, I felt their pain and frustration. I remember my second job in communications at a company where I was a communications specialist and delivering on all my projects. I even developed the company’s first e-newsletter. A white employee joined the team with less experience than me and within a short while they promoted her into a manager position and asked me to train her. 🤔 I’ve seen it time and time again in my career, Black women are held back, told we aren’t ready, asked to take more training, given contracts or secondments instead of full time work etc. Unfortunately, I had to honestly tell these young women that I don’t have a perfect answer on how they can get promoted because I’m still figuring it out myself. One thing that has helped me is starting my own company She's4Sports and using that to show my business management and leadership experience. To my Black colleagues, let me know in the comments, how you’ve navigated promotions. #workforce #corporateculture

Cocoa Girl magazine founder, Serlina Boyd, has launched the Cocoa School of Journalism and Creative Arts.

Despite the potential for counter-hegemonic challenges, media institutions have the capacity to shape public discourse and maintain the status quo through their strategic control over information dissemination.
