Challenge Day in Jackson, MI

You've probably heard of MTV's new series, "If You Really Knew Me"?  A program that highlights the efforts made by a nation-wide organization called Challenge Day to promote equality, justice, and love among students at high schools around the US.  This organization puts on a one-day long program for schools across the country in hopes that the stereotypes and barriers that lie within its students will be lifted up and kids will be able to feel safe, loved, and celebrated among their peers.

For the past two years, I've been hired by Jackson, MI's Martin Luther King Diversity Committee to produce an annual promotional video, highlighting student's experiences in the Challenge Day program and presenting the changes taking place in Jackson's middle schools.  This year's 2010 video presented at Jackson's MLK Diversity Breakfast was sponsored by Comcast Cable of Lansing, MI.  My video was introduced during the breakfast by Comcast's senior manager, John Gardner.  I feel very blessed to have had this opportunity to gain further experience working with a great client.  You may preview this year's video here.
