Each month Carlos Kareem Windham will host a new guest with a fresh perspective and set of applicable skills to help us navigate the inherited sea of racialized trauma in which we all find ourselves. We are going to build community, refine praxis, and most importantly, reclaim and assert our humanity!

Renegotiating our Relationship with Media
Dr. Vincent Pham
We can best determine where we are going, once we understand where we currently stand. Time seems to be moving with increasing urgency and for at least three generations of voters, the media landscape has fractured beyond all recognition.
What do we need to understand beyond the algorithm’s drive to hyper-individuate and further isolate us from one another, and from our own humanity?
How can we gain our bearings in a storm of misinformation associated with what surely will prove to be the most consequential election in the experiment that is our country?
The wave is cresting, and either way it falls, we are determined to make through to the other side. Join us for the inaugural Popout With Carlos & Community as we begin to define and plot our course forward.
This month, our guest is Dr. Vincent Pham a Portland, OR based scholar, trainer, and consultant. A respected researcher with 50 talks and presentations on topics ranging to cultural belonging and citizenship in popular culture to organizational and institutional issues of diversity and inclusion, Dr. Pham has been recognized by The National Center for Institutional Diversity (2013), has been interviewed by NPR’s Code Switch, US News, Daily Beast, and has served on the awards jury of the San Diego Asian Film Festival and Seattle Asian American Film Festival.
Dr Pham is the perfect guest to guide us through a conversation about the role of media misinformation, and the history it has played up through present day. After exploring the current media landscape, we will invite event registrants to participate in the facilitated community conversation, and to share our thoughts, discoveries, and possible new courses we might chart toward freedom.
Join us for the first of what we hope will be many Community Popouts going forward.
The Pop Out is a free community event, registration is required.
