The power of media | Mahreen Munir | TEDxUniversity of Birmingham Dubai

What if the beliefs you hold most dearly aren’t yours at all? In this eye-opening and deeply personal talk, Mahreen uncovers how media—through stories, stereotypes, and screen time—shapes our identity, perceptions, and even our dreams. From false narratives to viral truth-telling, she shares her journey as a content creator reclaiming the narrative for South Asians and Arabs through her show Karak with Mahreen. A compelling call to become conscious consumers in a world where media is not just influence—it’s power. What if the beliefs you hold most dearly aren’t yours at all?
