Soledad I live in Houston, TX the 4th largest city in the United States. I find that people in my community don't keep up with current events and don't have a clue about what's going on in the world even if those things directly affect our way of life. "Tunnel Vision"! Many are only concerned with the here and now. I'd like to make a serious effort to spread awareness but lack experience. Where should I begin?

I totally agree with you on that Soledad. So what I've been doing lately is observing what people in my community's interest are through social media. We have a very large young adult population here that would prefer to spend their time on social media than in front of a television. I try to cater to those interests from an independent point of view while also introducing them to things happening outside of our community. I do most of this through my Facebook page and while I have seen an increase in response from the public, I believe there's more that can be done. My problem is not only lack of experience but lack of resources as well. I have no experience in front of a camera, I don't know what kind of camera to use or how to use it, and of course money is always an issue. I'd like to do something similar to an "I" report. I have a base of followers at the moment but it's very small when compared others. But I am very familiar with Houston, I have a great relationship with many small business owners and leaders in the area but not knowing what it takes to get the job done haunts me. I don't want to start this just to see it fell because I truly believe my community needs this. Any advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated Soledad and please keep up the good work. I'm a huge fan and I appreciate your willingness to go beyond the lines to get the story out. Take care

I appreciate this advice so much Soledad. I've been struggling with myself over the past few months about "how" to go about this and in such a brief moment you've inspired me to get the ball rolling. I'm going to start on this today and hopefully in the days, weeks, or months to come I'll have some progress to tell you about. Thank you so much and please never think your efforts are in vain because they mean so much to people like me. Thanks Soledad
