SUMMARY
Reflection
I learned a lot about working on a team to create a product for the community. I felt empowered to work on an all Latinx production team, creating a product in Spanish, for the Latinx community in North Carolina. I was able to use my skills in video production and editing to offer something to the project creators and create long-lasting relationships for the future as we continue to work toward a better North Carolina. A huge thank you to Antonio AlanĂs and Black Public Media for making this project possible and allowing me to be a part of it.
Project Impact
There were approximately 45 people at the premier of the podcast in Raleigh, North Carolina.The first episode of the podcast has 139 views on YouTube. Hopefully, the podcast will continue to be available online for people to access in the future.
