   Elaine, founder of The Justice Beat Talk     Show/NxGen Interns

MEET

YOUR HOST
 

L. Elaine Sutton Mbionwu

"Strategic, Creative & Active Engagement Builds Beloved Communities"

     As of September 2021, Elaine was promoted to Deputy Director of Community Engagement after having served the past 5 years as the (ACLU-MO) first Legal Intake Coordinator. Dedicated to 30 years of direct professional experience and exposure in civil rights, social change, and justice reform. Elaine always envisioned creating and establishing a digitized media broadcast vehicle for the benefit of marginalized, unmet, and undeserved people. At this point in her career she finds herself giving back to young people through mentoring, coaching, teaching, training, consulting and advising through internship opportunities.

     Interns selected for placement in the NxGen Media Internship Program have The Justice Beat Talk Show assigned as their direct-project. NxGen Media utilizes a hybrid model in which internships are offered primarily as remote opportunities with some aspects of the internship onsite for live-taping. Due to COVID-19 NxGen Media will operate in a fully remote copasity until further notice.
