Folasade Olayinka Baderinwa and WABC hosted the youth empowerment program ‘Get Reel With Your Dreams’ at Channel 7’s WABC studios.
The program’s goal is to provide young people with career advice and planning ideas in journalism, entertainment, and live television.
Sade Baderinwa personally led a panel discussion with notable personalities such as Josh Einiger, Sandy Kenyon, and Ryan Field to provide program participants with first-hand experience advice and anecdotes.
ABC News also held workshops and Q&A sessions where participants could get tips and advice from reputable professionals on various aspects of the Live TV business, such as anchoring and camera work.
Disney not only sponsored the program but also funded a scholarship to students planning to pursue a career in media and entertainment through a video contest, with the winner receiving over $25,000. Oscar Anzora of Harry Truman High School took first place in the award, while Greg Navarro of the High School of Art and Design took second place.
