Tell us the purpose and mission of “Unleashed”, the new teen talk show?

My vision is to break the cycle of our children not being heard. I will help be theirVOICE. They have feelings too. I want to encourage them to be  their best no matter what. I want to decrease the number of killings among our youth, going to jail. They are HURTING and frankly they don't know how to deal with their pain. Let's band together and let them know we care for real and NOT play!!!!

What type of topics will be explored on the show?

Choices

Alcohol and Drug Abuse

self-esteem

Finances

Solutions 

You really want to empower the youth of today; how will the show as a platform support this initiative?

By giving them opportunities to become a leader on the show and express their views. My goal is to eventually have a cast full of teenagers to run the show; and I will supervise my vision for that is called TEENS LEADING TEENS INC.

You seem to have a youthful spirit, with all of the distractions that our youth face today how will you connect with them on their level?

Because I stay connected to them by engaging in conversation and really caring about what they are saying and feeling. I want to know about their pain their struggles and their successes. 

Many times young people can sense when people are being fake, how will “Unleashed” keep it real and be effective at the same time?

By always keeping it real with who I am as a person making sure I am a great role model. I want them To always feel that they can trust me when they tell me anything. And knowing that I will keep whatever

They tell me in my heart so I can understand where they are coming from. We as grownups often feel That we are in control well that's not true. Respect is due to our teenagers when you respect them for
real they tend to respect you back. I want them to know that we truly care about what they are going Through it's time we start listening to our kids they been trying to tell us but frankly we haven't been Listening now we have a major problem. It's time to come together and work at
getting this thing right It won't happen overnight but it will happen. everything is a process.
