Welcome! This is a space where I, Leonor Amaral, a chronically ill Humanities Student will talk about several things that go through my mind and matter to me. It is a space for growth, sharing and learning, where you're welcome to take whatever you want from each episode!
Hello there friends!
It has been a while! I finally finished the third episode of the show, where I dive into topics of media representation and our ideas and anxieties regarding disability. This was a lot of fun to make, I really enjoy reflecting on these issues. I hope you like it!

Hello friends!
Today's episode will be a bit different than what will be following: I will ramble on about Slacktivism, our educational systems and Social Media! I also provide a short introduction to the podcast, what I will be doing, who I am and why I am doing this!
Here are some things I would find helpful moving forward if you're interested in what I talked about:
The social dilemma (Documentary, Netflix): Interesting documentary about the way that Social Media is built, and the dark side to it.
Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story (Documentary, Netflix): This is another documentary, not so directly related to what I spoke about, but illustrative of the power of social media activism in real life.
Losing Relatives to Fox News (Podcast episode, You're Wrong About): This is an episode of my favourite podcast which dives deeper into some of the stuff I talked about regarding conspiracy theories and such.
Feel free to dm me on Instagram (@LeonorAAmaral) or send me an email (leonoralbuquerqueamaral@gmail.com) if you have any feedback or suggestions moving forward!
