I spoke to my friend Manny Cruz who is currently based in Aotearoa ( New Zealand),and is indigenous to Guam. Cruz is currently pursuing his Phd in Communication Studies. As an academic and practitioner he is curious about how Western Ideology plays a part in the media and how it effects marginalized communities, primarily those in Guam. Cruz is not only an activist and academic, but also leads the Fanachu Podcast. In our conversation we talk about his experiences with racial microagressions, colonialism, militarism in Guam, and dealing with racism in New Zealand. Find out more on Dreams Not Memes.
