The Black LGBQ Experience During BLM: The Impact of Social Media on Vicarious Trauma and Resiliency
2024
Overview
Social media has played a large role in the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM). The BLM movement originally developed into a social justice campaign after the deaths of Eric Garner in New York and Michael Brown in Ferguson. In 2020, the murder of George Floyd was captured on video and broadcasted on social media, prompting US-wide protests which inspired protests against anti-Black violence across the globe (Barrie, 2020). The impact of social media on symptoms of vicarious trauma experienced by Black people within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) community during the BLM movement is understudied. This study aimed to explore how Black LGBQ individuals’ participation on social media, particularly engaging in unregulated graphic images, could impact experiences of vicarious trauma and resiliency. This study found that social media following the murder of George Floyd, within the specified timeframe, did not mediate the pathway between race and vicarious trauma. It was also found that social media following the murder of George Floyd did not mediate the pathway between Black participants and resiliency. Although there were no significant findings, the questions asked in this study is an essential contribution to our understanding of the impact of social media on one's mental health amongst both Black and White LGBQ individuals.
