I’ll be returning to the TEDx stage—this time in New York City! ✨ In 2017, I delivered my first TEDx Talk, exploring themes of hybridity and identity through the lens of Drake’s artistry. In 2025, I’m honoured to take the stage once again with a completed Ph.D. in Media Studies 🎓 and over a decade of experience in marketing and communications 💼 to share a unique perspective. This year’s theme, The Link Up, couldn’t be more relevant. While technology provides endless ways to connect, many of us struggle to maintain meaningful relationships. My talk will explore how #connectivity in the digital age impacts everyday people and artists alike, using insights from my Ph.D. research on figures like Drake, Justin Bieber, and Jessie Reyez. Together, we’ll unpack how #technology shapes #identity, fosters belonging, and influences the connections we form across both personal and professional spaces. 🎟️ This event is open to the public! Tickets are available now: tickettailor.com/events/tedxmor… If you can’t make it to New York, I’ll be sharing livestream details soon. Let’s explore how we can bridge the gap between digital interaction and genuine connection. 👉🏽 👈🏾 For updates, visit DrAmaraPope.ca. #TEDx #TheLinkUp #PublicSpeaker #MediaStudies #DigitalAge @uwstratford @westernuFIMS @LaurierArts #TedxMSH2025

Growing up in Vancouver and visiting Whistler often, I thought I understood the grandeur of mountains. But standing before Mount Fuji was an entirely different experience. Taking a cruise on Lake Ashi, I felt the sheer scale of this 3,776-meter (12,389-foot) giant as it loomed over the landscape. Last erupting in 1707, Fuji looms as both a serene icon of beauty and a reminder of nature’s unpredictability—it could awaken at any time. Its vastness isn’t just physical; it carries centuries of history, inspiring awe through art, religion, and its enduring presence in the Japanese landscape. #MountFuji #Japan #Travel #naturephotography

After two weeks away, exploring the vibrant culture of Japan 🇯🇵 and stepping back from both work and workouts 🛑, I’ve returned feeling recharged in ways I didn’t expect. Traveling across Japan opened my mind to new perspectives and unleashed a wave of creativity. The pause gave my body time to heal and come back stronger. Last night, I returned from Tokyo, and this morning, it’s straight back to the grind at work—with a performance review and my first workout in over two weeks ⭐️. But I’m starting the day with a refreshed mindset and renewed energy. Sometimes, stepping away is the key to coming back sharper. Ready to tackle the day ahead with a stronger body and a mind buzzing with ideas. #RechargeAndReturn #CreativityUnlocked #Reset @CrunchGym
