Media Impact Spotlight – Ep5 – Van Jones

I had the opportunity to meet Van Jones recently. Best known for being an environmental advocate and bestselling author of The Green Collar Economy, President Barack Obama appointed him as the Special Advisor for Green Jobs back in 2009. Hear what he has to say about the most pertinent issue we need to tackle in 2011, and what the media’s role should be.

Thanks to Northwestern SEED for organizing the event and inviting Van Jones for their Fall Speaker series. It was incredibly inspiring and enjoyable.

This is a pro-bono project I took on for Northwestern’s Students Consulting for Non-Profit Organizations (SCNO) featuring the remarkable kids and staff at the Boys & Girls Club of Lake County. They’re doing some great work there, providing a safe space for kids to learn and grow… so show your support! :)

Thanks to Zach for being such a pleasure to work with!

Media Impact Spotlight Ep3 – Jehane Noujaim

I had the pleasure of meeting the 2006 TED Prize Winner and award-winning director of Control Room, Jehane Noujaim. She was a special guest speaker at Northwestern for Speaking With A Lens, an awesome event organized by the Muslim cultural Students Association. Jehane was also the great mind behind Pangea Day, an epic event that brought inspiring movies to over a million screens across the world simultaneously.

Enjoy episode 3! :)

Bringing the world together through the power of film.

Watching 2006 TED Prize winner Jehane Noujaim share her wish for the world with such passion sends goosebumps down my spine. It’s the 2nd time I’ve seen this video and I still feel moved.

Was super excited that she was scheduled to speak at Northwestern tonight about Speaking With a Lens. I found her film Control Room remarkable and was really looking forward to meeting her. Very bummed out that the Iceland Volcano ash cloud has prevented her from flying to the US. McSA, I really hope you’ll find a way to reschedule this.

**Update** They did reschedule it! Woohoo! Just got back from the event where Jehane so kindly agreed to be interviewed for the next episode of Media Impact Spotlight! Look out for it soon! Thank you, Jehane for a wonderful talk. It clearly inspired many in the room. And thank you, McSA, for organizing this. Looking forward to more great events in future. :)
