LylasGlobalDialogue

So I'm finally done with uni, and incredibly excited to be setting off with this, that yesterday I decided to do a quick clip about the sister channel to Tea In The Sea called LylasGlobalDialogue. 

Hopefully by working through videos we'll be able to get more people aware and interested in the way they treat people from different countries.

I've been trying to get the hang making my own little clips and actually getting across the message, so I'm hoping to get all the kinks sorted out in the next few weeks (so if anyone knows how to get rid of that background squeak please let me know!).

Another interesting clip that I happened to bump into is from KevJumba who makes an interesting comparison between women, and, well.... M&M's (odd i know). I'd like to speculate and say that it probably was inspired by a chocolate craving, but i guess we'll never know. 

You should definitely check it out below, as it makes a really good point about inter-racial relationships, and racism the plagues almost every single society about their members marrying outside the acceptable 'group'.  

It's a fun clip but really hones in on some of these issues..

Enjoy, and Be safe!

First steps...

Hi everyone!

I'm SO SO excited to be starting off this blog.  In a few weeks once I graduate I'll be able to really get this going.
So you're probably wondering... why should I follow this blog? 
Well this blog will be a snapshot of my day to day life, and will focus on issues such as global dialogue, and cross-cultural understanding.  If you have any interest in being a part of this project, then I would absolutely love your input. 
Tea in the Sea will also look at the arts, the media and politics, and their impact in cross-cultural understanding and conflict.  
New projects from around the world will be discussed, so if you hear of anything, please let me know!
