Give Be Heard Talk A Remote Platform!
Donation protected
Hey everyone!
We at Be Heard Talk have been working really hard to keep our platform going, even through this pandemic that has stripped us of our studio, our equipment stuck in storage, and the in-person community interaction that keeps all of our stories and perspectives fresh. We think now more than ever, people need to be informed of the facts with flavor - we need news that represents us and our communities. We want to keep you informed, as well as share positivity in these times, and have been experimenting on the best ways to do that remotely.
With that being said, after a few weeks of quarantine, we've finally figured out the best way to make our platform remote: we will be hosting Zoom webinars and sharing the link through all of our platforms (social media, email, etc.) so that you the viewer can tune in and still chime in with your opinions and views as usual.
Before, we had y'all call in to the radio and comment on Facebook live. Since we can't be together to launch a "live" broadcast, we figure this is the next best thing.
However, due to Zoom's restrictions, we are unable to broadcast for over 40 minutes and host webinars (allowing y'all to interact) without purchasing the premium versions. For the most part, we cover our own costs. But this is going to be an investment that none of us can make right now, considering the state of the economy and our own financial situations.
Please consider donating so that we can purchase a professional Zoom account and keep our community informed, educated, and empowered, as always!
With love,
Tammie, Stanley, Selena
