Today was my second day volunteering at HarlemLIVE and today I was able to work with a bunch of people to develop story ideas and write out questions. Kendra is doing a very ambitious story about politicians and what they do to help their communities. She was making phone calls and collecting contact information in order to set up interviews with some big name politicians. I'm really impressed with how ambitious she's being, especially since she's only been working with HarlemLIVE for a month.
I was also working with Jaanais with her questions for her interview. She's going to be interviewing a minister at a local church and she came up with a lot of really great questions about why he became a minister and what he wants to do in the community. We tried to do some research about the minister and the church but we struck out every time.
Hannah and Shanice were also working on stories about a beauty salon and a skin care place. Then I spent some time hanging out with Tamara and Charisma talking about video stories and college applications. Everyone here is so motivated to find interesting stories and conduct thorough interviews.
