Latest episode @monamhamdy Mona Hamdy “You Are The Algorithm” EP.38 Season 4 The Radical Contemporary Podcast. In this episode our founder @nourhassan speaks to @monamhamdy who is a PhD candidate and teaching fellow in Applied Ethics at @harvard@harvarddivinity. A native of Egypt and the United States, her research examines modern morality for the 21st century—one based on common values of meaning, story, and holistic existence in our hyperconnected machine age. We talk about cultural preservation via the creative industries, finding purpose amongst a cluttered social landscape online and in person, being influential but not an influencer and vice versa, and what the future has in store for those who choose to believe that each of us has the power to ignite change!
"I don't want it to be so trendy. I want it to be more like my signature look, my signature detail, something that would stay with you," said May Orfy, Mayka's designer.
