Today on Uprising, Pastor Kristi and David talk about representation, a topic largely sparked by the latest Marvel box-office hit, Black Panther. What might a film about a black superhero mean to a whole generation of African American youth? And on the topic of movies, why aren't there more female directors? And more female pilots? And race car drivers? (You get the idea) What gets portrayed in the media has a lasting impression on people- especially kids- so maybe there's work to be done as far as gender balance. We explore that in 'See Jane', a movement started by Geena Davis that challenges stereotypes and empowers women via the media. We top it all off with a little Michael Jackson. That's how we do it on Uprising, y'all!
