Intersections
These six 30-minute episodes highlight community members from all socio-economic, diverse and cultural backgrounds. The stories (around 8-12 minutes each) will be digital-first programs, often tied to Heritage Months, followed by on-air broadcasts, combining several stories into the full 30-minute episodes. We will partner with area nonprofits to identify individuals with inspiring and enriching stories about overcoming adversity and celebrating the human spirit. A large component of this project is to demonstrate to community members, no matter their background, that we as human beings are more alike than we are different.?
