Featured in our last episode, here are the full covers of the K-pop hits La Ta Ta (by (G)I-dle) and As if it Were Your Last (by BLACKPINK) by our very own Avery Carter and Alynnah Walker, produced by Young Ambition for this Connectopod / Social Justice Learning Institute collaboration series Changing the Narrative.
From shy to fly, these two 11 year olds took us from Inglewood to Korea and back with a little Seoul Music. We dare you to listen to this and a.) not dance and b.)not think they are pros. Enjoy!

Created in a 5 week collaboration between Connectopod and The Social Justice Learning Institute, developed and taught by by Andrea Lopez, Daniel P. Castillo, and Betsy Foldes Meiman

Changing the Narrative Episode 5- Art is Everywhere

How does art influence us as individuals and as communities? How do we process our world into artistic expression that makes us think, brings us joy, and connects us? In the Story Corps booth at the Annenberg Space for Photography, musician/ film maker Kevin Miles and voice over artist Betsy Foldes Meiman discuss the social justice power of photography, a high school football hero Tashad Rutherford (Truth) slams his poem "Outsource," Alynnah Walker and Avery Carter give cultural wisdom and connection through K-Pop. Stick around after the Connectopod "End Yell" to hear these two soft spoken 11 year olds break out amazing covers (in KOREAN people!) of La Ta Ta and As If It's Your Last, produced by Young Ambition (the perceptive Kevin Miles!).
