Last month, AsAmNews reported on Yanise Ho, who is rollerblading across the United States without money or resources, relying solely on the kindness of strangers. We’ve since learned Ho is a contestant in the annual JCSI Young Creative Award. Sponsored by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which awards the Emmys, the award is ” is a 1 Minute Video Competition designed to discover, recognize and foster young talent from around the world while creating a global conversation around Peace” according to the JCSI website. This year’s theme is “Stand Up for Peace.” Ho’s video “The Bladress” can be found and voted for on the contest website. Voting closes on September 19.
