“By ‘empowering’ communities, we are perpetuating privilege. The privilege of giving a starving group the thing you hold in vast quantity. What if instead of empowering people, journalists shared their existing power or access to power?”

The same could be asked of philanthropy. https://t.co/Eq0NhxMYsa
