The commenters were not kind on this hot take. To many, race/gender didn't matter, but it does if the gates of photojournalism are kept by people who largely don't look like you. 2 years later, I wrote about it again. The same headline pretty much worked: https://t.co/1UsegUDopO

You can tell by the images produced by young photographers what type of curriculum it was, who taught them what. The “masters” are white. The images created are of black and brown people. They develop a white gaze, venture into “developing countries” and the cycle continues.
"The Black gaze is simply the perception of the Black person(s). It’s a view of the world from a voice that has long been silenced and as such, forces a target audience to engage true Blackness."
