On Friday, March 22, 2024, OHIO YAB Youth Ambassadors participated in filming for an OHIO YAB promotional video. Videographer Shalonda Swanson, of Yemoja Speaks, is a former foster youth herself. Youth participants included Yavian Webster, Miatta Joe, Aaron Brown, Erik Ezekiel and Jahmie Woods.
The OHIO YAB is grateful to Ann Bischoff for providing the video location, and to Deric Cobb, Yvonne Williams and Kim Eckhart for providing transportation.
Youth recommendations for future video projects, based on their experience with this one are:
1. Provide food and beverages.
2. Make sure young adult participants have the specific questions ahead of time, as they did for this opportunity.
3. Less is more when it comes to questions: Fewer questions; shorter questions.
4. It mattered who asked the questions and how well they knew that person.
5. Importance of doing something silly and fun afterwards, with adult supporters.
