Now that 2020 is behind us, we are excited to move forward with resolve to serve audiences beyond St. Simons Island. In some ways, we feel better prepared to tackle the year ahead as a result of the pandemic. We are more sophisticated and flexible in terms of technology which gives us more ways to interact with our audiences. But more importantly, we have been changed by the pandemic and the deep divisions in the country that were laid bare last year, especially racial inequality, which devastated our own community. We, like others, are inspired to have bigger conversations and look outside of our “bubbles” to reexamine our purpose.
