DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Jenan A. Matari as we explore the crucial 
 role social media influencers play in shaping narratives around Gaza and 
 Palestine. We will discuss how these new voices contribute to the broader 
 discourse, offering insights and perspectives that are often deliberately 
 overlooked by traditional media. Through their storytelling, they provide a 
 counter-narrative, promoting awareness and understanding in a landscape 
 marked by misinformation and erasure of anything 
 Palestine.\n\n=================================================================\n\nCALL
