YC Upcoming Bubbles with YC producer photos

You may find that older generations may be confused on some ideologies millennials and generation z have. Modern youth has become more accepting to literally everything from cultures to lifestyles. On Friday, the Today show released a video where they gathered families from conservative communities were asked what they thought about gender fluidity, and by surprise, these communities with “classic” ideologies have become accustomed to the more modern lifestyle that the newer generations have created. Whether is breaking down walls for all races to unite or letting go of gender norms, today in age, everything has become about being your best self and being able to do it without the fear of judgement. Join the Youth Channel this week with special programming about race, ethnicity, and identity.

The Youth Channel airs programming every weeknight from 6-7pm on MNN4 (FiOS 36, RCN 85, Spectrum 67 & 1998) and MNNHD (Spectrum 1993). To learn about MNN’s Youth Media Center and the work they produce, click here.
