📰✨ Good News!!: We're Finalists! ✨📰
We're TALMBAT the Future!
Hey everybody! 👋🏿
How are y’all feeling? I hope that your summer has been amazing so far and filled with many moments of joy.
Today, I have some good news and opportunities to share coming up for our community. Yesterday, it was announced that TALMBAT has been selected as a finalist for the DoSomething.org Generation Future Award (yayyy! 🥳)!
(Psst! Here’s a graphic for you to share! ⬆️)
So, you may be wondering — what does this mean for our community?
If we are selected to receive a $5,000 grant, the funds would support the release of our new web platform, and narrative-sharing materials (including our first magazine issue and merchandise), where we will share stories and host global community events — the spaces where we will gather as TALMBAT members from around the world! This award would be such an impactful resource that will support all of our members in having their stories and voices amplified… because our stories are our power!
“How do I help?” — Vote, Vote, VOTE! 🗳️
To help our community become an official Generation Future award winner, we need your support! Winners will be selected by votes, so please vote for TALMBAT by visiting https://dosomething.org/genfuture, creating a DoSomething.org account with your email address (I promise, it’s super easy to sign up), and selecting my (Jasmine Lewis) vision for the future!
Organizing to #VoteTALMBAT means doing what we do best — share our story!
Share the link with your loved ones, homies, educators, mentors, school orgs, and all of the people in your life who may have a story to tell, so that we can continue building this space together.
Also, leave a comment below about what TALMBAT means to you! We will be sharing responses on our socials with the hashtag #IAMTALMBAT to highlight our incredible community members!
Psst, if you have ever been interested in helping to create assets, graphics, and campaigns for TALMBAT — NOW is your time to shine! 🌟 You can sign up for a one-on-one conversation with me here to share your ideas and learn more ways to plug in!
It is an honor to serve as the Chief Community Vanguard of our TALMBAT space, and I am so excited to see where this journey takes us!
Regardless of what happens, knowing that you all are passionate about crafting the future of storytelling together means the world to me — that’s my win, always.
See you soon, let’s do this!!!
