My Internet TV Show

1. Who is the intended audiance for my show?

Educators, students, historians, writers, artists, musicians, scholars and the general public with interest in african and african american diaspora and multicultural literacy. Those having an interest in the arts, philantraphy and helping vulnerable women and children and those who's lives are affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

2. Why would they be interested in my show?

Most African Americans believe the history of Africa has never been included nor properly represented by educational institutions in America. Simply put, African history is not included in the primary and secondary school curriculums. As a result there is a lack of knowledge that borderlines the type of ignorance that seperates people, races and cultures due to this lack of knowledge and understanding.

On the other hand there are those who want to learn and/or enhance their knowledge and experiences of relationships more fully with Africa through a variety of educational media and techniques that create memorable experiences.

3. Why will they choose to watch it instead of spending their time somewhere else?

While being innovative and creative, it represents the different view points and experiences of our diverse and ever changing society.

4. What does your show have (or does it need) to turn viewers into fans/evangelists?

Storytelling, entertainment, art as culture, current events - updates on what's happening in modern day rural Zimbabwe, (a country governed by dictatorship) and the psychological and social issues surrounding this experience as it parallels what's happening in modern day America.

5. How can you initially get your show in front of the intended audiance?

Marketing will be via art and history educational blogs and websites.
