During this time, campers will become radio DJs- learning how to write, records, edit, and produce their own multimedia segments. We are so excited to spend our summer recording awesome content, learning how to use new equipment, and collaborating with new friends.
“What do you want for your future? What are your dreams?” These are the questions Mentor Jarrett Brinson asks his mentee Ahmad in this inspiring recording from @lakidsrights. Too often, society floods us with negative messages about youth—especially Black youth and system-impacted youth—while giving them few opportunities to share their own stories. Ahmad challenges us, as adults, to stop, truly listen, and rethink how we see young people. He shares his dreams for the future—dreams we can all relate to: to feel safe, motivate others, and yes, to one day live in a penthouse. Listen in today to hear from an amazing young person and an incredible mentor who encourages kids to speak their dreams into reality.
This month, we have sat down with some amazing youth participating in the Youth Climate Action Fund in New Orleans. These future leaders have started climate initiatives designed to raise awareness and combat specific effects of climate change in our community. Molly has started Carnival Kids- a start up business designed to replace plastic waste at Mardi Gras parades. She came through the studio to tell us more about her bamboo cups, her collaboration with Grounds Krewe NOLA, and how much she loves power tools!
This week, DJ Brix and DJ Oreo sat down to interview City Council President Helena Moreno🔥
