Brooklyn, USA

#BHeardAmplified is a BRIC initiative that meets emerging producers where they live, and gives them the tools and the know-how to tell the stories that they think matter most. This year the program was presented in collaboration with the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs with support from The National Endowment for the Arts fund. Producer Sriyanka Ray, music producer Karim Douaidy, and filmmaker Jude Chehab spent 13 weeks in Bay Ridge in partnership with Yemeni American Merchants Association (YAMA) and Arab American Association of New York (AAANY) teaching a small group of residents how to develop a podcast. This week, we’re sharing stories from 22 of Brooklyn’s newest audio-makers.
