This week we are ecstatic to have Dr. Jared Ball who is a father and husband. After that, he is a professor of Media and Africana Studies and produces multimedia for imixwhatilike.org. He joins Within Our Gates this week to discuss his Vernon Philosophy of Black Media Avoidance, and we discuss how and why Black people need to consider this particular lens when looking at Hollywood Cinema and media in general when Black people or Blackness is the subject. We go A LOT of places! Check it!
