One Hood Media Academy, established by Jasiri X and Paradise “The Arkitech” Gray, in conjunction with August Wilson Center for African American Culture and a generous donation provided by the Heinz Endowments. One Hood Media is a tool to help African American young men critically analyze media messages, broaden their experience of media, and develop the creative skills needed in producing their own media.
The mission is to improve self-image, dispel negative stereotypes, and provide a positive forum of self-expression. The program is offered to 25 young African-American men, ages 13-19. The course will include, though not limited to, the art of blogging, video production, and social media.
