We were lucky to catch up with WRGO TEAM recently and have shared our conversation below.
WRGO , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
To gear up for a historic election In Georgia, the podcast released #justvote Merch to highlight change agents such as Stacey Abrams, Raphael Warnock, and the beloved John Lewis. We were able to meet our goal of selling 50 shirts while partnering with esteemed journalists, elected officials, and nonprofit organizations in order to highlight the importance of local elections + the continued fight for equality by minorities and woman.
WRGO , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
The 2016 Presidential election served as a wake-up call for Black and brown millennials. For many of those individuals, 2016 was their first time engaging with politics, and it left them feeling overwhelmingly dispirited. The tone of the campaign and the candidate’s unwillingness to speak directly about their issues caused many to simply disengage entirely. We decided then was time to really hone the audience and keep them engaged in the political process by speaking directly to their core issues and bringing attention to proper channels.
How’d you meet your business partner?
We all met while in college at Howard University. Henry served as the bridge that formed the trilogy that’s become. We would often debate controversial topics and challenge one another to “level up” professionally. After graduating, two of us, Henry and Noah, stayed in the Washington, D.C. area and McKenzie moved to the Big Apple.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Politics isn’t often the most popular or clickable content. When we first began recording, it was hard to capture our target audience and find a space to exist. We’ve had to define and redefine our KPIs in order to connect with the individuals who engage in the space of politics. We’ve also had to be innovative with topics & discussions.
