Unc @wkamaubell, @CNNOriginals and @ZPZProduction take us to South Carolina to see what decades of inequality can do to communities and show us some folks doing the hard work to protect those who need it.

"Only in America do you have the opportunity to go broke from healthcare bills or getting educated."
-- @wkamaubell
"If the #minimumwage had kept up pace with the American economy since 1968, it would be 24.00 now."

"Why would a so called society let ANYBODY go hungry?" #UnitedShades #foodinsecurity
We have 54 million food insecure households in America.

"When I hear the word food desert, I want to correct people and tell them that it is a food apartheid. Deserts are natural occurrences. Apartheid is intentional." -- @FreshFutureFarm #UnitedShades
"Nature is trying to take care of us, but we just keep cutting it down." -- @FreshFutureFarm, @sc_citychick

“We have sky rocketing rents but wages aren’t rising with them. If your rent is more than 30 percent of your income then you are rent burdened." — @ChasProBono

#UnitedShades
“We have been convinced that the rising stock market. More than 80 percent of all us stocks are owned by 10 percent of us households.” #UnitedShades
“91 of the top 500 companies in America paid $0 in income taxes last year, that’s not right. “We can’t rebuild the high way system or house the homeless if large corporations won’t pay anything.” #unitedshades

#UnitedShades heads up Appalachia and I’m live tweeting so we can all learn together.

We was outside for real on this one. Image
Let’s start with a few ground rules. Appalachia is much bigger and much more diverse than previously knew.

It spans 13 states and has over 26 million people (2.5 million black people) and is over 206k square miles.

This episode hinges on resisting the erasure of Black History. Throughout the episode, we traveled to BlackAF places that I had never been to before.

this episode we the most out of any episode I have ever been on.

I’m tired of badly edited images of black and brown people. Poorly exposed frames with recycled presets slapped on has got to stop. It doesn’t help tell the stories of black and brown folks. #equitythroughediting #madewithlightroom Image
what sort of action is needed?

I could go on forever. But what I want to focus on how bad editing has robbed so many black and brown subjects of being truly seen. Image
my solution, a new initiative called greater equity through editing. sponsored by @Lightroom, taught by me (for now).

it's a start. Image
