We take a look now at how diversity in media and entertainment affects young people.
Our student reporting labs program, which leads journalism training in middle and high schools around the country, asked teenagers why representation in pop culture matters to them. There is a lot about pop culture that is pretty negative, but it can also help you find out who you are in this world. I told my parents last night and they were ok with it. Glee was a big part of me accepting and discovering my sexuality. In "Glee" was great at showcasing LGBTQ representation. And so it quickly became my comfort show. Grey's Anatomy, the show freshman year, I was still trying to find ways to make other people see me and love me as me. The fact that Loki from the series Loki on Disney Plus is gender fluid. A lot of people don't know what gender fluidity is. And it's hard to try and explain it to them when they have no examples.
