This segment explores the intersection of historical civil rights movements with contemporary advertising strategies. We discuss the implications of invoking such a pivotal moment in history for commercial purposes and the reactions it has sparked within the community. Segment 2: “Digital Discourse” Next, we turn our attention to the digital arena where Darren Mays, known for his provocative TikTok content, challenges conservative viewpoints and questions the role of religion in modern society. This segment dissects the impact of social media on political and religious discourse, examining how platforms like TikTok serve as battlegrounds for ideological clashes. Segment 3: “Identity in the Everyday” Our final segment delves into Starbucks’ recent initiative to include messages about gender reassignment surgery on their cups. This move, aimed at supporting transgender and non-binary communities, has sparked conversation about corporate responsibility, consumer engagement, and the visibility of LGBTQ+ issues in public spaces. #rosaparks, #starbuckswoke, #darrenmays, #incrediberry
