When myself and the young people in the project got invited to perform and attend the first global congress for victims of terrorism at the United Nations headquarters in New York we were followed by ITV Grenada reports, who were filming a four part package with us.

The package went live on ITV a couple of weeks after we arrived home and to conclude the package myself, Cath Hill and LucyJarvis joined presenters Lucy Meacock & Rob Smith in Media city to do a live interview in the studio.

Filmed a Promo Video for the Bee the Difference Project
In order to connect with audiences and gain a following on social media, we decided that we would film a short video that contained information about the project and why it is important. We filmed interviews and also recorded a song for the video. I created an arrangement of 'Listen' by Beyonce that we sang as a group that was later used as the music for the promo video.
