Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting a group of talented high school interns from KRSM, the FM radio station broadcasting from the Phillips community in South Minneapolis. These students are gaining valuable experience through behind-the-scenes work and involvement in shows that feature six different languages and 10 hours of Indigenous programming each week. 📻💬 The students' enthusiasm and commitment to learning about media production was truly inspiring. Internships like these are essential for career development, offering hands-on experience and fostering important, life-long industry connections. Starting early with internships can make a significant difference in shaping a successful career path. We're proud to support and encourage these future media professionals! 💙 . . #careerdevelopment #youthinmedia #internships #futureleaders #mediacareers

We had an incredible time at the Minneapolis Institute of Art for a special screening of the film "Gordon Parks’ American Gothic: Liberating the Voices and Visions of a New Generation" produced by this year's HYPE team of aspiring high-school filmmakers. We were honored to have co-creator and Executive Producer Robin Hickman-Winfield - who is also Gordon Parks' grandniece - along with members of the HYPE team, join us for a talk following the viewing. Their insights added depth to the evening, celebrating both the legacy of Gordon Parks and the new generation of voices inspired by his work.
