media representation

In this episode of the 'Merging Life and Money Show', host Marie-Jo Caesar engages listeners in confronting and debunking stereotypes about Black people. She delves into historical prejudices, the harmful media portrayal of Black individuals, and the consequences these misconceptions have on career opportunities, mental health, and societal treatment. Highlighting stories like James' and Anna's, Caesar unpacks the Angry Black Woman and Thug stereotypes, advocating for media diversity, inclusive education, and dialogues to foster respect, dismantle systemic biases, and inspire a more equitable society.

 THE THREE MAIN POINTS OF THE PODCAST ARE:

 1. Dissecting and Confronting Stereotypes

The episode discusses the importance of recognizing common misconceptions and stereotypes about Black people, such as the "Angry Black Woman" and "Thug" stereotypes, and understanding the historical, cultural, and media influences that perpetuate these stereotypes. This includes examining how these misconceptions lead to real-world impacts like stigmatization, discrimination, and systemic biases that affect career progression, professional experiences, and interactions with law enforcement, among other aspects of life.

 2. Media Representation and Its Effects:

The podcast delves into the consequences of limited diversity in media representation on the self-perception and aspirations of Black individuals. It also talks about how the media's portrayal of Black individuals contributes to the devaluation of Black lives and experiences in the public consciousness and perpetuates exclusion. Advocating for more diverse and positive representation in the media is highlighted as a crucial step to changing harmful stereotypes and fostering a more inclusive society.

 3. Empowerment through Dialogue and Education:

Host Marie-Jo Caesar encourages listeners to engage in open dialogues about race and stereotypes and emphasizes the role of inclusive education in achieving understanding and empathy. The show suggests integrating materials that reflect Black individuals' rich and varied experiences into educational curricula. By incorporating literature by Black authors, teaching about influential Black figures, and promoting TV shows and films with diverse casts, the episode stresses the importance of challenging the status quo to build a future where misconceptions about Black people are overcome, and everyone is treated with respect and equity.

In this episode of Recover to Flourish, I dive into a topic that many individuals with eating disorders struggle with: feeling like they are not "sick enough" for recovery. As someone who has experienced this feeling myself, I know how challenging it can be to seek help and support when you feel like your symptoms aren't "bad enough."

Through my own experience and research, I explore the reasons why individuals with eating disorders may feel this way, including the glamorisation and trivialisation of eating disorders in the media, distorted body image and behaviours, and feelings of shame or stigma. I also offer practical tips and strategies for overcoming the comparison trap and seeking the help and support you need to recover.

If you're struggling with feeling like you're not "sick enough" for eating disorder recovery, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore this common experience and work towards a more compassionate and supportive approach to recovery.

“If you think you completely understand somebody because they’ve been portrayed in such a flat way, then it’s easy to think you have mastery over them.”

- Sarah Bloesch

Today, I’m joined by documentary filmmaker and a professor of filmmaking at UC Davis, Julie Wyman. Julie’s work aims to challenge and expand our culture's narrow range of represented bodies, and her latest project is no different. As an adult, Julie was diagnosed with a form of dwarfism called Hypochondroplasia. Her diagnosis was part of the inspiration behind the documentary she’s currently working on, and on today’s episode, we discuss her vision for the film and some of the highlights and challenges that it’s presenting.

From the guests...

“I think that good and quality representation should obviously be nuanced. As for characteristics I definitely think if you’re going to represent some identity that there should be someone who identifies as that involved in the production. I think a lot of the time good representation can give you insight into a different facet of that person’s lived experience that you wouldn’t have considered otherwise.”  --Bronwyn Campbell

“Definitely media has that obligation [to show representation], because ...all media is a reflection, or sometimes most of it is a critique on society. Why would you not include people that exist like all of these people, and these communities exist?”  --Mari Fabian

Opening & ending music: Southern Love by Tencher Music

In this SPECIAL episode, Justin and Rebecca discuss the Netflix comedy show, "Special," which follows the life of Ryan, a gay young man with cerebral palsy as he gets his dream job and comes into his own. Justin shares his own experiences from his youth from being single, and how the show depicts cp. We touch on the importance of media representation and our hope for more shows like "Special." 

A 50-yr-old Japanese lawmaker says it would be "absurd" if he got arrested for sleeping with a 14-yr-old. The fascinating, funny Dr. Alexandra Hambleton talks about the issues surrounding this story, and also demonstrates how to deny consent when she refuses to let us scan her zairyuu card.

• Can you give consent to sex when you're 13?
• The difference between 14-year-olds having sex and 14-year-olds having sex... with adults

In the past, the representation of Latina women in the media has been extremely stereotypical at best. We have been portrayed as the sex pot, the maid, the gangster or as immigrants that cannot speak English, or speak English with an accent. And while I admit that all stereotypes are founded in some truth, and that we all know one of these archetypes in our own circles, what is missing is everyone else in between. Real, complex, complicated, people that straddle and navigate both worlds with ease and distress.

• What are some stereotypes of the Latina woman or mom that you’ve encountered in the media?
• Do you see yourself accurately represented?
• What would you like to see in the portrayal of Latina women and moms in the media?

Jay Lin, the founder and CEO of Portico Media as well as GagaOOLala, Asia's largest LGBT film streaming platform, is a visionary leader with a mission to normalize queer representation in Asia. Newsweek named him one of the Top 15 innovators of 2019 and in 2016, he was invited to be a judge for Berlin Film Fest’s Teddy Award. Jay also founded the Queermosa Awards, the Taiwan International Queer Film Festival and GOL studios, the first queer cinema crowdsourcing platform. 

In 2014, Jay used the Taiwan International Queer Film Festival as a platform to fully come out to his parents. “I was quite afraid of whether they would accept this or reject me,” Jay said. “But ultimately I think the parently love for one’s son triumphed. And they become one of the largest advocates for parents of gays in Taiwan.” 

Jay and I also talked about:
👨🏻‍🍳How he built his work ethic at a young age through part time jobs at his mom’s Chinese restaurant, a paper route and as a babysitter. 

🏳️‍🌈The shift he’s seen for LGBTQ+ awareness and acceptance in Taiwan 

👶🏻Advice for gay dads, as he has twin boys!

“I wanted to completely go into the audition looking like someone they would never forget,” said Taiwanese Canadian actor Chase Tang, about his Netflix audition for Jupiter’s Legacy. 

Chase’s family immigrated from Taiwan to Canada in 1992 and settled in Nova Scotia, where he described hockey “as a way of life.” Very quickly, he learned how to skate and was enrolled into recreational ice hockey, where he ended up becoming a young prodigy. He advanced to playing in AAA hockey in Nova Scotia, with peers like two time Olympic gold medalist and captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby. Like many Nova Scotia boys with dreams of an NHL career, hockey was Chase’s life–that is until he was injured. A career ending injury brought on depression and social anxiety for Chase, who felt like he had lost his entire identity because he could no longer fall back onto hockey. 

Much later in life, with no formal training and no theatre background, Chase decided to dive into an acting career after a successful corporate career. “People thought I was crazy because I came in so late,” he recalled. “I was like no training, no nothing and a few years away from my 30s.” 

Chase and I also talked about:
🏒 How playing AAA hockey was the best + worst time in his childhood 

🦹🏻‍♂️ What strategies he used to go from a corporate sales person to becoming a Netflix supervillain  (from getting a big time agent to auditioning tips) 

🍦 His obsession with ice cream and chips (in unbelievably gigantic quantities!)

Former Harvard running back Cheng Ho, Choxue’s CEO and founder, is the definition of grit and hard work. Choxue is a startup with a mission to make athletics part of education in Asia. Some of Choxue’s investors include Alibaba Executive Vice Chairman and Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai, Costco Wholesale SVP Asia Richard Chang and celebrity Blackie Chen. (Richard retired from playing semi professional basketball and went to UC Berkeley on a NCAA basketball scholarship.) 

In this episode, Cheng and I talked about how integrating athletics into a student’s life helps them learn teamwork, communication and leadership skills, which is missing from Asia’s education framework. Instead, kids in Asia spend their after school hours in cram schools and tutoring classes focusing on academics.  

Cheng immigrated to the US after being adopted by his aunt and uncle. As a middle schooler who didn’t know a word of English, he dived into basketball and football. Getting called racial slurs made him want to be the best athlete he could be and prove he was more than the colour of his skin. 

Cheng and I also talked about:
👋The first American friend he made at school in Augusta, Georgia (who he still keeps in touch with now!) 

🏈How he got into Harvard University on a football scholarship 

🏀What it meant witnessing Linsanity, the rise of Jeremy Lin in the NBA, an Asian American player, who was formerly Cheng’s dorm blockmate at Harvard

Prior to Choxue, Cheng worked for the National Football League, with a team that tried to bring football to China. 

“You need these great stories, but you also need people who are willing to pay to go see those stories on screen,” said Maggie Hsu, the co-founder of Gold House and Mochi Magazine. “And that creates this positive flywheel where the more people are going out, the box office numbers are better and more of these stories are greenlit.” 

Maggie’s work with the #GoldOpen movement of buying out theatres and creating viral buzz has helped Crazy Rich Asians, Searching and Parasite dominate box offices on opening weekend. 

Also in this episode, Maggie and I chat about:
🚸The Chinese school her dad ran with his friends in the basement of a local church when she was growing up
📚The reason behind starting Mochi Magazine, a publication for Asian American women
🌠How bridging communities is needed more than ever right now, as discrimination against Asian Americans is on the rise due to Covid-19 

Maggie (and the rest of Gold House) are volunteers. In her full-time role, she works at Amazon Managed Blockchain in Global Business Development under Amazon Web Services. Prior to that, Maggie was an advisor and Chief of Staff to Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. Maggie holds a BA and MBA from Harvard University.

In this episode, I explain The Spoon Theory, and why you may hear some people refer to themselves as 'spoonies' in the chronic illness/disability community. How the adorable analogy works, where it originated, and how it is used - as well as why I don't use it, in favour of my own analogy about phone battery! 

I also call for any examples of representation in the media in terms of characters with chronic fatigue, citing the new series of She-ra as an example of excellent representation (even though it turns out they didn't do what I thought they did with the character *facepalm*)

We again talk about the importance of sex toys and how mindfully made sex toys make for a easier and better experience in the bedroom.  Assume nothing abut Sex and Disability.

Black Panther made all sorts of history — as the first Marvel production to feature a primarily black cast and the first superhero movie to receive an Academy Award nomination. For Zahida Sherman, a writer and college administrator, taking her students to watch the movie in theaters felt like participating in a historical, cultural moment. “It was just black joy, all day long,” she recalls. In portraying a wide range of black identities — both superhuman and mortal — Sherman says the movie offered her permission to be herself and see that anything is possible.

Sherman is the director of the Multicultural Resource Center at Oberlin College. She was formerly the assistant director of black student success at the University of the Pacific. Find her writings on race, gender, and adulthood in Bustle and Blavity.
