CREATIVE WORKS
Production Assistant and Co-host for "The Black Family" TV Program (1977-1991).
"The Black Family" represented a creative approach to community outreach and intervention. It was a live, prime-time program aired weekly by WJCT-TV, Jacksonville, FL. The major goal of the program was to present well researched information in a direct, clear, understandable way that is tailored to meet the specific needs and aspirations of the Black community. It also sought to address issues of concern across racial lines, resulting in a 70% white viewing audience.
As co-host of "The Black Family," I conducted background research and prepared written detailed outlines and visual instructional materials for the programs on which I appeared. I was also involved in overall program planning. Below is a list of programs on which I appeared in the role of clinical psychologist, presenting information on the subject of the program and responding to live telephone questions from viewers.
