Title: Latina Rebels turn to memes, humor to rethink media on hot-button issues

"When Prisca Dorcas, founder of Latina Rebels,  was in graduate school at mostly white Vanderbilt University in  Nashville, Tennessee, frequent race-driven microaggressions made her  feel isolated and confused. Without a physical place to vent her  frustrations and find solidarity, Dorcas turned to Instagram in 2013 to create a virtual rallying ground.
