A panel on the coordinated hate campaign on Meghan Markle

Hello Squaddies!! Michelle and Tina are here with you again! We have a special podcast for you all! This panel on the coordinated hate campaign on Meghan Markle, with Christopher Bouzy, the CEO of Bot Sentinel https://botsentinel.com/ (Shout out to a black man starting a tech startup!), Stephanie Guerilus, a Journalist currently at The Grio, and Professor Goldburn Maynard, a Business law and ethics professor was so refreshing and illuminating. So who is behind this hate campaign, what is their end goal, how can we use the information moving forward, what role big tech social media companies play in this, why journalists amplify the hate against Meghan Markle?

Most importantly, did this hate originate on social media, or did it develop with mainstream media? Wow-what a spirited conversation we had! As you all know, Tina is emotional, so you guys got that from her, and Michelle brought her well-thought-out discussion and questions to the panel! We had so much fun on this panel; we could have gone 13 hours, but alas, you only get 2 hours. Thank you so much to everyone! We value your time, honesty, hard work, and opinions!  

❤️

Tina & Michelle
