I’ve mentioned before that I work for a non-profit called Bedouins International and I wanted to go a bit further into that today. Those of you who have been to our studio have seen the work on the walls and most likely asked us what it was all about. Well this weekend is your chance to really find out. But not just find out! It’s your chance to get involved.

What is media and why do i care?  Media is a force that shapes your understanding of the world around you.  Media has the ability to open our eyes to global politics, global injustice, global peace and global celebrations.  All around us is media.  Call it Fox News, CNN, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or even mass text messages.  Media is everywhere.  And guess what?  You, my friend, have the power to shape the stories that are told.  You’re an artist.  A storyteller.  People listen to you.  People are inspired by you.  You want to carry influence.  You want to change the world.  You want to shape the way stories are told.  Be the storyteller you desire to be.  Come to Woodrow Hall in Birmingham, Ala. on August 1st at 6:30 p.m. and hear how Bedouins International can empower you to be a great storyteller, media shaper and world changer.  Go to www.bedouinsinternational.org/banquala/ to find out more.
