Here comes the 'BackDoor Bridge Forum'.....all dressed for Red Carpet

So i've been doing all these talking and sharing for some time now and it has been good so far because apart from the fact that friends, family, colleagues and even some acquitances are now beginging to realise that this is for real, there has been an evolution process that i have being going through, like trying to give life to this dream no matter the odds, having to do most task on my own to make sure things get moving.....oh, and you wont believe how prudent i have suddenly turned out to be which is strange because one would expect that my life as a finance person would ensure, but apparently we do take things for granted and for me it was the salary which was sure by month end. 


Even though i thought i would take my time before and just move at my own pace, the need to put BackDoor out there has been trailing me and wont let me be.......i just feel the atmosphere is particularly ready for this. It is as if a sudden awareness or awakening is engulfing everyone now.....public, private and the corporate sector and not to propose the value that we have to offer will not only be unpatriotic but almost criminal. 


I must confess that it is not an easy task to achieve in a society where teenagers hardly have a voice, by that i mean not represented distinctly......a parent accosted the other day and was complaining about how the teenage son is lacking in engagement by way of teens activities and of course i sized the opportunity to sell the BackDoor Tribe to her, she was highly impressed and receptive. i have also had another parent telling me to bring down the age limit to 9years since some kids get to Secondary School at that age.....(talk about fastness of this generation!).


Anyway, this is the story of my life and therefore Ladies 'n' Gentlemen, Teenagers and Young Adults, Parents and Guardian, School Owners and Administrator and all y'all who love to inspire young people.......Please join us as we present our maiden edition of the BackDoor Bridge Forum at Planet 1 on the 7th of April, 2012 where we shall attempt to close the relationship barrier between Tweens and the older generation in the critical subject matter of  the media.


The theme of the event has been themed 'The Big Screen and You' with a view to look at the media realities of our time and the effect they (movies, music, advertisement/marketing, social networking) have on the self image of the Tween. 


Professional in these fields (apart from celebrities who will be available to make the Red Carpet glamorous) will throw light on why the media is important and how the participants can make the best out of it notwithstanding the violence and stereotyping that characterize it.


Trust me when i say don't miss out on this, 'cos it promises to be rewarding for all participants.
