to join NextNext entertainment's youth television program
Chat the Planet and Snap.
Chat the Planet and Snap allow students to express there
thoughts freely and comunicate despite cultral and racial
differences.
Joey:
What is the mission of Chat the Planet?
Tiffani:Chat the Planet is all about bringing young people
together. The goal is for two countries to talk about each
others opinions. Her inspirational quote is : I am persuaded
that neither death, nor life, nor angles, nor principalities,
nor power, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height,
nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to seperate
me from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ our love.
Joey: How and where do you recruit people to be on Chat
the Planet?
Tiffani:
They advertise it on craigs list and they get a lot of response.
They have to be very political in order to be on the show.
Chat the Planet teams up with universities and colleges
and get teens that way too.
Akhym:
Can you describe the type of people that are on Chat the
Planet?
Tiffani:
Well we really like to get culturally people with different
backgrounds. They are usually educated and knowledgeable
so they know what they are talking about. We try to get
kids that have already graduated high school. We also have
some kids from other countries that have experience in US
politics.
Joey:
Where did the idea to include different countries come from?
Tiffani:
The executive producer of the show came up with it. Her
name is Laurie Meadoff. She had the idea when she was in
South Africa. She had seen a guy doing a TV show that is
similar to Chat the Planet but only with people from Africa,
and his show was about different ideas in Africa instead
of different countries.
The goal of the show is to have communicatio in other countries.
The show only does the US perspective, like for example
US in Africa or US in China.
Akhym:
How did you get involve in the organization?
Tiffani:
Started as an intern for a week then was hired to do the
show Snap. Chat the Planet is a two hour show and after
that is Snap, but still both works for NextNext Entertainment.
Joey: What are your hobbies and interests?
Tiffani:
Dancer, Ballet, Jazz, Step, tap, African dance, Etc. I’m
also a writer working on a magazine called Newd Magazine.(
It’s not an adult magazine) it’s a spiritual
magazine based on New York and Miami.
