‘Tings Brown’ is an animated series created by Neketa Forde, 29, a Guyanese Ohio University graduate who migrated for educational purposes with the intent of coming back to help her country.
The Guyanese animator spotlights brain drain in the YouTube series, using animation to bring awareness to the social issues surrounding brain drain in an effort to encourage people to stay and return to assist in building their home country.
Forde explained, “The aim of the piece is to inform the Guyanese public [about the] social inequalities [that] may shove their citizens out of the country into a more developed one.”
The series was created to highlight and identify various factors that have and will continue to influence persons to leave their homeland.
