Standard media literacy teaches people how not to get tricked. This program starts somewhere different: with what media has already installed in you — about yourself, your community, and who gets to be human in the stories being told.
Video, audio, photography, or writing — you choose your medium. Your story, your format.
Critical lens, not neutral
Rooted in the Lillian Jiménez tradition. Media as a system of power, not just a set of messages to decode.
Analysis to creation
Participants don’t just learn to see bias — they make their own media. From critical consumption to original production.
Bilingual by design
Not translated after the fact. Facilitation, materials, and glossaries built in English and Spanish from the ground up.
