This week I (Laura) said I wasn't going to give air time to the thing that had annoyed me. Instead, I said I'd do something to counter balance it.

Sam and I are both very passionate about equality.

Being a film nerd and writer the area I (Laura) tend to read most about and get caught up in, is representation within fiction/culture.

Instead of recommending specific videos and highlighting the thing that got me so riled. I've decided to recommend three youtubers and two Netflix documentaries - all which explore representation in some form or another.

Amazing Youtubers that may help you get more informed about why certain things/people/ideas in the zeitgeist are problematic;

Contrapoints - https://www.youtube.com/user/ContraPoints

MelinaPendulum - https://www.youtube.com/user/MelinaPendulum

They are three I personally watch but I'm sure there are others. All three do thorough research into their topics and their videos are usually video essays.

Disclosure - A film about trans representation on screen

They've Gotta Have Us - A series that traces the history of black cinema

Want to learn more about what the Queens are doing, of course you do, you're only human!
