CreativeMornings - 📣 No voice is too small

March 24, 2022

"Spreading awareness isn't the same as activism. Often we hold our Instagram accounts accountable instead of holding ourselves accountable."

At only sixteen years of age, Alisha Aslam has made headlines for her activism against Islamophobia. But this attention-grabbing advocacy built upon her years of organizing for human rights with youth at its center. In her CreativeMornings/Toronto talk, she explains why consistency is key to organizing, how awareness-raising activism on social media is only the first step, and how even quiet and shy voices can speak out. Watch Alisha Aslam’s galvanizing call to action and learn how your voice can deliver real social change.
