What impact does social media have on racism and anti-racism?
How do traditional media sources gatekeep whose voices are heard?

In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism.

In this episode, Jill interviews Dr. Rob Eschmann, a distinguished writer, educator, filmmaker, and scholar. They talked about the impact of technology and online communication on our understanding and responses to racism. He also elaborated on the activism of everyday people who are challenging how racism operates.

Dr. Rob's recently published book, When the Hood Comes Off: Racism and Resistance in the Digital Age, delves into the transformative impact of technology and online communication on our experiences and responses to racism. His expertise encompasses educational inequality, community violence, social media, and youth well-being. By shining a light on the mechanisms of racism, Rob aims to raise consciousness and promote resistance efforts.
