Location Details:

Join us for a conversation with Jenan A. Matari as we explore the crucial role social media influencers play in shaping narratives around Gaza and Palestine. We will discuss how these new voices contribute to the broader discourse, offering insights and perspectives that are often deliberately overlooked by traditional media. Through their storytelling, they provide a counter-narrative, promoting awareness and understanding in a landscape marked by misinformation and erasure of anything Palestine.
