INSPIRING THROUGH STREAMING STORIES.
The Lantern Network’s Streaming Stories is a web series featuring successful Black Americans across an exceptionally wide spectrum of professional pursuits—from accountant to zoologist, and everyone in between. The Lantern Network’s streaming content is instrumental in demonstrating how real people with real stories overcome obstacles and achieve personal goals. Through the sharing of these streaming stories, we wish to ignite a connection from the experience of others to young individuals, to help develop and propel them forward.
​
We invite you to take some time and share your personal story or professional journey as part of our streaming stories series. Your video may be featured and shared across our website and social media platforms to inspire and encourage young, underrepresented Americans to unleash their talents and fulfill their purpose.
Instructions: We are conducting Zoom interviews to capture Streaming Stories content. Please reach out to ekwiatek@lanternnetwork.org to set up a interview.
If you have any questions, please reach out to stories@lanternnetwork.org.
