Now, in a time when we are ALL mourning the destruction of black bodies on camera, there is something new in the air that is different. I believe that we are converging on a hopeful time when we can talk about equity with depth that has previously been too painful or too difficult. Now we must prepare ourselves for the difficult conversations, and the unusual efforts to make equity in community media more than a pursuit, we must make unusual efforts to actually be equitable. “If you waan good you nose haffi run”

“As my mother would tell me and her mother’s mother told her, Juneteenth was the day we received our freedom. It’s a way to honor my grandparents, and my great-grandparents, and my great-great grandparents who were slaves. We must honor the ancestors. That is why we celebrate.”

The fifth year of the Emmy-nominated Media Share grant program kicked off in May with 11 new non-profit organizations – all excited to learn new skills and become media makers!
The Media Share program is a unique, in-kind grant program designed to help selected Brooklyn nonprofit organizations learn how to create and share media that moves their mission forward. Grantees first take custom classes in the BRIC Media Center and then are paired with a Producing Mentor for additional training sessions. The mentors assign “homework” projects and collaborate with the grantee teams on a final PSA-style project. This year, we welcome four new Producing Mentors, eager to begin working alongside their assigned nonprofits in the coming months.
It’s BRIC first ever B Free Awards! We decided it was time to celebrate what makes Brooklyn Free Speech Television programming unique, original, momentous, and AWESOME. Take a trip down memory lane with us!
