***Calling all Falcons***

***Virtual Town Hall Meeting***

As a proud Alumni and Graduate from the class of 1982 and a Podcast Host. I want to do my part. Therefore,

Story Time Podcast with Shout Crystal is providing a place for us to come together.

We will had a two-hour window virtually on Wednesday, February 19, 2025 @ 8 pm Eastern.

Those that wanted to be heard came!!! They shared their thoughts, resources, and good intentions to help when the opportunity prevails.

Many are still planning while we are in HBCU recovery mode. I moderated as FALCONS came on to vent and share positively and respectfully.

All were prepared to share what they is needed to do to help rebuild our Almamater we all love called St. Augustine’s University.

Four people participated in this segment. This was an opportunity for out-of-state and country Falcons to be heard. Positive vibes only.

Please feel free to listen and comment if you support the institution.

Thank you for caring, listening, and sharing.

Sincerely

Live Stream Producer/Editor/Director
