#BHeardAmplified is a @BRIC initiative that meets emerging producers where they live and gives them the tools and the know-how to tell the stories that they think matter most. This year the program was presented in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs with support from The National Endowment for the Arts fund. Producer Sriyanka Ray, music producer Karim Douaidy, and filmmaker Jude Chehab spent 13 weeks in Bay Ridge in partnership with Yemeni American Merchants Association (YAMA) and Arab American Association of New York (AAANY) teaching a small group of residents how to develop a podcast. Here we’re sharing stories from YAMA’s team of Brooklyn’s newest audio-makers.https://share.transistor.fm/s/09b70843“Your Coffee is on Me / قهوتك على حسابي” was produced by Amal Al Khateeb, Wael Ali, Osama Al Mathil, and Waleed Hassan.• “The Bodega Strike” was produced by Abeer Al Harazi, Sam El Seidi, and Lamia Hauter.• TRANSCRIPT: https://bit.ly/3dp7usP#YAMAeducate #YAMAadvocate #NYCYouth #yamayouthstay tuned for #YAMAPodCast !
