AwareNow™ Talk Show is a series of conversations on social causes. In this national broadcast, a selected cause serves as the topic for a raw, unfiltered panel discussion among a diverse group of individuals. Prior to the one hour live conversation, a thirty minute pre-show sets the tone with musical performances, poetry, stories and statements. From actors to artists to athletes and impact leaders to industry legends, featured panelists share personal stories and perspectives to raise awareness for relevant issues and identify actions viewers can take to change the narrative and bring sustainable change to our communities. A national broadcast with global reach, AwareNow is featured on KNEKT TV and available on Apple TV and Roku.

MENTAL HEALTHWe began with a powerful pre-show featuring music, poetry and personal statements and stories to set the tone for a conversation about Mental Health. Exclusive musical performances were shared by Isabella Blake Thomas and Ned Stranger.
The live panel discussion included a diversity of voices that included Dr. Jenny Martin (a Clinical Psychologist and Author), Jonny Boucher (Founder and CEO of Hope For The Day) and Isabella Blake Thomas (Actress, Recording Artist and Producer). Questions were asked and answers were explored in an unfiltered dialogue that was raw and real. Tune in as we work to end the stigma and start the conversations that will raise awareness for Mental Health. |
RACEIn its inaugural broadcast, the topic was race. Preparations were made to get 'comfortable with being uncomfortable'.

Andrews (Professional Softball Player and Rawlings Gold Glove Winner), Dr. Dela Taghipour (Physician and ABC News/GMA Medical Journalist) and Thavius Beck (Musician, Producer and Educator) through a real, raw discussion on racism.
Preceding the live panel discussion, a pre-show set the tone with music by Caly Bevier featuring an exclusive, never-before-seen performance of 'What's Up' by the 4 Non Blondes.
