🔥 What does it take to stand for democratic values when the work of communicating them comes with difficult questions, competing interests and real challenges? Communicating about power is never just about the message. It is also about understanding who holds it, how it shapes public conversations and the challenges that come with advancing democratic values. At the Kijana Jitokeze Uwajibike Intergenerational Dialogue, communications practitioners had the opportunity to learn from veteran journalist Njeri Rugene’s lived experiences, gaining insights into the realities of the profession and the responsibility that comes with shaping public narratives. Because advancing democracy also means confronting difficult realities, asking the uncomfortable questions and learning from those who have navigated these spaces before us. When experience meets new perspectives, there is room to rethink how we communicate, engage and contribute to a more democratic society. 🤝🏾
