A newly-announced reality show featuring Priyanka Chopra, Usher, and Julianne Hough has sparked a debate on social media. The show is described as a competition series that features six inspiring activists teamed with three high-profile public figures working together to bring meaningful change to one of three vitally important world causes: health, education, and environment.¡¯?
Actor Jameela Jamil tweeted,
¡°Couldn¡¯t they give the money it¡¯s going to take to pay this UNBELIEVABLY expensive talent and make this show directly to activist causes? Rather than turning activism into a game and then giving a fraction of the much-needed money away in a ¡®prize¡?¡¯, People are dying.¡±
