The Voices of the Community

About Us

We are local activists operating as independent photo and video journalists to give the community a platform where they can be heard. This platform can be utilized to ensure a comprehensive, dignified approach to unified living. While other media and news stations are less inclined to focus on the truth, we specialize in results that are community oriented, affable, and pioneering. We are working hard to increase understanding and awareness for our community, by our community.
