No White
Saviours is the name of a new Instagram
account about how white people from the west can stop trying to save
Africa—or other countries in the developing world.
According
to the founders, “we never said 'no white
people.' We just know you shouldn’t be the hero of the story.”
That’s an
important message to hear. But that’s not why I am sharing it on this
blog.
The
reason I’m sharing it is because of the simple but neat
way the BBC chose to interview the two women behind the campaign.
All the
BBC did was a basic Q & A, posing the questions in text and then letting
the women answer them in video.
There are
no amazing graphics or photos; just two women talking.
Of course,
the clip is edited for effect and length. But that happens in print or video.
Take
a look.
And if you are looking for simple and effective way to interview volunteers,
recipients, staff, board members or others, consider giving this a try.
