Don't let poverty porn inform your giving. Poverty porn is a tactic used by nonprofits and charity organizations to gain empathy and contributions from donors by showing exploitative imagery of people living in destitute conditions...reinforcing false narratives and streotypes. And if you let poverty porn inform how you give and who you give to, it won't be possible to give in a way that is empowering. And true Allyship is and should always be empowering, not exploitive, not performative and hopefully not transactional.
In Adam Ruins Everything, host Adam Conover employs a combination of comedy, history and science to dispel widespread misconceptions about everything we take for granted. A blend of entertainment and enlightenment, Adam Ruins Everything is like that friend who knows a little bit too much about everything and is going to tell you about it... whether you like it or not.
