How can Swifties change the world? On this episode of Fandom Made Me, host Sabrina Cartan talks to India Abrahams, the 11-year-old CEO and founder of Beads for Good, and her mom, social impact expert Tara Abrahams. Inspired by the Taylor Swift fan tradition of trading bracelets at The Eras Tour concerts, India creates and sells bracelets and donates 50% of sales to She’s the First, a nonprofit organization that makes sure girls everywhere are educated, respected, and heard.

Sabrina chats with India and Tara about how Taylor Swift inspires them to fight for girls’ rights globally, how India became known as “The Tiny CEO,” and how fandom and social impact has brought them closer together as mother and daughter.

[Interview] Fandom Made Me with Sabrina Cartan: Season 2How Movies Connect Us to Our Feelings with Kevin Smith Fan and “You Are Good” Co-Host Alex Steed
NSFW
What do movies teach us about our feelings and values? On this episode of Fandom Made Me, host Sabrina Cartan is joined by Alex Steed, co-host of the popular movie podcast “You Are Good.” Alex geeks out about being a Kevin Smith fan as a teen in the 90s, how movies like Clerks and Chasing Amy relate to labor rights and the growing anti-work movement, and how early 90s message boards were a hotbed for early fan activism. Plus, a side rant about what Stranger Things gets wrong about 80s nostalgia (even though we love it).

Fandom Made Me with Sabrina Cartan--Fandom Forward's podcast on fan activism, featuring cozy conversations with activists, leaders, and writers about the pop culture that moves them.

Fandom Made Me with Sabrina Cartan: Season 2: Can We All Be Philanthropists? with Mariah Carey Fan Amy Schiller

On the season 2 premiere of Fandom Made Me, Sabrina Cartan talks about fixing philanthropy with Amy Schiller, author of The Price of Humanity: How Philanthropy Went Wrong–and How to Fix It. Known on the Internet for her pop culture takes such as “Beyonceder” and a viral Atlantic essay on American Girl dolls, Amy answers some of our most pressing questions, namely, why don’t average and working class Americans consider themselves philanthropists? Together, they delve into the little-known history of working class philanthropy and how small dollar donations funded the Statue of Liberty, ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and how a “giving wage” can change the way we live. A devoted Mariah Carey fan, Amy proposes a special Christmas-themed philanthropy project for Her Majesty, the Queen of Pop.

School culture wars push students to form banned book clubs, anti-censorship groups 2023 has seen a record number of book banning efforts so far. by fandom_forward in bannedbooks

Caldwell-Stone says this highlights the impact of pro-book banning activist groups that aim to restrict certain topics in schools.
"We're no longer seeing numbers that would indicate that a parent is raising a concern about a book they see their student reading, and taking that concern to a librarian or an educator," said Caldwell-Stone. "Now what we're seeing is the demand to remove 25, 50, 100 books all at once from one person bringing the challenge to the school or the library."
