In our first episode of the 2018 season and coinciding with Loa’s third year anniversary, we feature our newest reporter Thúy Vi Cao. In this week's Vietnamism, she explores the meaning of “black” in Black April and examines all that colors our understanding of victory, tragedy, and trauma.

We bring you the last of our series about the 2018 Internet Freedom Festival in Valencia, Spain. Quyên Ngô talks Melanio Escobar of Humano Derecho Radio Estacion of Venezuela. Kathy Triệu brings us a conversation with Gaba Rodriguez about building feminist infrastructure.

As part of a special Loa series, we present to you some of the voices of the 2018 Internet Freedom Festival
