<p>Previous episodes have spoken about online safety and the internet police, we will now look at some tech-based activism started by African youth. Using social media to organize protests has become the new norm and whether it be through showing solidarity through photos and hashtags or standing on the frontline and marching, responses to calls of action can come in different forms. We also speak about the power of storytelling within movements and how the story of change has shifted online.</p> <p>Our guest for this episode is UK-based South African multidisciplinary storyteller and creative, Zamalisa Mdoda. With experience in film, TV and digital media, she has tracked the storytelling behind movements and has even taken part in digital youth movement #FeesMustFall. Alu and Zamalisa get into various ways our movements are just cries for new narratives on the continent and throughout the world.</p>
