Next Voices - Episode 2 with Bricolage Academy

"Next Voices" is a Be Loud podcast that listens to the next generation of students, leaders, and citizens here in New Orleans. 

In this episode, we talked with 8th graders from Bricolage Academy about what it means to grow up in their community and what they associate with being an American. The energy and enthusiasm of these 4 brave students really cemented the larger purpose of this project. Young people have a lot to say and we need to listen.

Big shout out to our new friends from Bricolage Academy and we are grateful for these students for joining us in the studio and to their teacher Té Smith for leading the way.  

Also, thank you to our partner the New America Foundation for inspiring and investing in this work. These experiences have pushed us to re-imagine what it means to listen to and record with young people. We hope you will continue to tune in to these conversations.
