Heritage Radio Scholars offers high school students the opportunity to learn audio reporting techniques while discovering how food shapes the world around them. The program empowers young girls to connect with their culture, community, and themselves through food — all while honing their storytelling skills. HRN collaborated in Fall of 2024 with The Lower East Side Girls Club to create the Love Letters to the LES Girls Podcast through our newest iteration of the Heritage Radio Scholars Flavor and Folklore, a 10-week after school high school program serving the girls and femmes of the LES Girls Club.
Love Letters to the LES Girls Club is exactly what it sounds like. HRN’s Digital Media Educator Sasha DuBose shares her experiences teaching the food storytelling course of their dreams. Combined with anecdotes from the girls she taught, the Love Letters Podcast highlights just how special this program was for everyone involved. The podcast series premieres February 14th, so expect something in the mail!
Love Letters to the LES Girls Club was reported by the LESGC Flavor and Folklore Members Kiyerra Braveboy, Astan Kaba, Shayla James, Amelia Rodriguez, Symone Carre, Noni Johnson, Imani Hughes, Rae McGee, and Melissa Gregory, with support from Santanah Thomas.
Love Letters to the LES Girls Club is produced by Sasha DuBose and Taylor Early.
Our audio engineer is Sam Gerardi.
