              What a success!
 
For two weeks Students developed strategies to utilize Arts and Entertainment to inspire solutions for underserved communities. Students were guided by industry mentors fueled by early morning wellness sessions, and inspired by one another as they sharpened their professional skill sets.
 
The Accelerator culminated with a showcase before industry experts. This effort was led by our Senior Director of Partnerships & Programs Joseph Barrett  & Team PROPEL .

We have decided to focus on the societal issue of the social pressures of the entertainment industry. However, we have focused more specifically on violence, police brutality, black-on-black crime, and the "Get rich quick" culture. There are a variety  of outlets through which people of color are often subjected to social pressure, by the influences of the entertainment industry.
