Be Loud Radio | What would a prison-free New Orleans look like? Conversations with Lede New Orleans

Every year, we partner with Lede New Orleans- an organization that equips emerging creatives with skills, tools and resources to transform how local media serves our communities.

For this episode, DJs connected with Lede fellows and learned more about their reporting on the impact of prison on our local community. With their help, DJs also heard from leaders FFLIC LA as they shared more about their work in transforming the systems that put children at risk of prisons.

Incredibly grateful to these two organizations for coming through to talk to Be Loud, inspire new questions and ideas, and to listen to what they had to say about their own experience.

We will be sharing these conversation on an upcoming episode of our podcast. Stay tuned.

What is Be Loud Radio ?

The Be Loud Radio Hour is a podcast made by kids for everyone! At Be Loud Studios we help kids turn screens into tools for self expression and courageous collaboration. Being “loud” means showing up, creating something different, being assertive.

Youth need more space to practice their “loudness,” especially in our digital world. Whether it be with a microphone or camera, we trust youth to be creators (not just consumers) –their opinions, ideas, and perspectives are valid and must be expressed.

Be Loud exists to amplify kid voice in a time where too many youth are silenced. Kids have things to say. We want to give them the platform to not only share their stories, but to confidently broadcast them to the larger community. By doing so, we believe that they will feel affirmed and confident to become more active changemakers, listeners, and culture bearers.

Thanks for listening, and remember to BE LOUD!
