To me an affirmation statement is more than just looking in the mirror and and saying I am (fill in the blank). Its also spiritual practice declaring that I trust god. Its what I believe about myself as an individual. It can be how a collective believes about themselves as a community. It can also be what the media projects on us to influence our beliefs.With this podcast series, I want to do a couple of things, staring off by examining faith based perspectives on how our thoughts become our reality. Then I want to get a psychologists opinion on how "I am" statements effect the brain. Afterwards,I will bring in a few of my friends, mentors, and love ones to explore how what we believe, either individually or collectively, influences social norms, culture and policies. (Especially the ones we are dealing with today) Lastly, I'll talk to my favorite anti-racist media strategist so I can ask her the question of the century: Do we control the algorithm or does the algorithm control us?Song Smart Cube by @EpidemicChillBeats
