Third World Majority believes strongly in building the media capacity of communities of color and indigenous communities within the realm of the media/technology (Media/Tech) justice movement in order to reclaim our communities' vital rights and access to our airways, networks, and cultural spaces. As a women of color collective, we recognize that it is usually the women who harbor a community's memory, wisdom and culture; and thus, are the ones who then pass such knowledge along to subsequent generations. In doing so, we upset traditional stereotypes of who owns and uses technology, and we reframe technology literacy programs as valuable cultural arts space where communities are redefining their cultures and values for the next generation of resistance. The shift of WHO is teaching also not only changes the literal face of who is teaching, but models collective, intentional leadership by young women of color that moves beyond and challenges racial stereotypes and gender binaries.
