Increíble charla de @miriamjtg en la conferencia the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley The Democracy and Belonging Forum ! Media, politics, public discourse, narratives…I feel like a kid in a playground! #OBCONF23 GORM Mamobo Ogoro


My heart mind and soul was fed by today’s presentations and conversations at #OBCONF23 hosted by the the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley and their The Democracy and Belonging Forum! The environment created at the gathering clearly inspired participants to collaborate in making all feel like they belonged here together.🧵


Day 2 of the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley’s & The Democracy and Belonging Forum’s #OBCONF23 was equally as beautiful and inspiring as Day 1. The momentum of advancing ideas & relationships was not lost, & the uplifting spirit of belonging only continued to build! This is especially thanks to the role the arts played!
