Episode Title: Youth Media, Ethical Storytelling & Global Impact
Guest: Lily Mott – Founder, Be the Change Media Network
In this powerful episode of The SJW Show, host Jasmine Cannon-Ikurusi sits down with Lily Mott, founding director of Be the Change Media Network, to explore the power of youth voices, ethical storytelling, and the role media plays in shaping a more just and informed world.
Launched during the Black Lives Matter protests in Washington DC in 2020, Be the Change Media Network began as a response to the urgent need for young people to tell their own stories. Since then, Lily has built a global platform featuring over 280 podcast episodes and a growing network of 35+ young creators under 25, all committed to creating meaningful conversations about social change.
In this conversation, Jasmine and Lily dive into the responsibility that comes with having a voice in the digital age, discussing the balance between viral content and ethical storytelling, the importance of media literacy, and how young creators can use their platforms to inspire action rather than simply attract attention.
The episode also explores the vision behind the Be the Change Media Academy, a new initiative aimed at equipping the next generation with the tools, confidence, and integrity needed to tell impactful stories and lead through media.
Together, they reflect on the deeper question behind it all:
What does it truly mean to “be the change”?
