AC21 - Keynote: Changing The Media Narrative And Healing The Most Vulnerable
In this dynamic and uplifting speech, Maria will talk about how important it is to think about a future where white America will no longer be a majority and everyone learns about true equality and representation. This is a moment to think about data that will give us hope and making sure that we take care of ourselves before we take care of the rest of the world and the country. But we can do both! Based on personal experiences in her reporting and recent trips around the country, Maria will provide context for concern and also for joy about the future.
