The 33 Project

Snowing here in NYC, again.

I’ve been extremely busy editing some video projects this past week, so it’s been hard to escape into other content. But, never fret, I still have the ability to get distracted! Here are some of those distractions, that are totally worth your time…

1/ This conversation between Ezra Klein and Heather McGhee is excellent. McGhee’s work explores the broader costs to all Americans when we accept racism and live within a racist system. She really breaks it down in a startling way. Let’s just say there’s a lot of people cutting-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face talk. It’s a good listen.

2/ This essay on removing oneself from instagram during 2020 is pretty solid. I would love a group logging off, if possible. But I think it’ll remain a pipe dream for now.

3/ Last night I watched Sandra Bland Say Her Name, a documentary on HBO. It was a pretty powerful film and I definitely recommend it if you want a fuller picture of how her life ended. It’s hard to believe she died in the summer 2015, over 5 years ago.

On a personal note, I released a motion graphics reel this week that you might want to watch or share. Check it here.

Till next week!
