The Hood Report: May 004

Happy Memorial Day! We hope this edition of the Hood Report finds you doing well. Stay dry and safe!

We are one week out from wrapping up with our community media cohort. For the past 11 weeks, 16 media fellows across three cohorts have completed training in audio, photography, and closing out on content creation/videography. In the coming weeks, we will drop 'save the dates' for you to join us in celebrating their hard work and viewing their projects.
