A casual Sunday at church turned into one of the most uplifting and beautifully encouraging words that were a long time coming! E'vann Walker has been a preacher from a young age and I could certainly tell! Something about him was so engaging and prophetic I literally latched onto each and every word.

I read over my notes from his preachings, constantly taking them in, reading scripture, and looking at my own personal abilities and remembering how more I am able of achieving them!

The bits that really stuck out for me were the constant things we have to remind ourselves when looking at our own individual strengths. We are so much more able than we think. We should never ever limit ourselves, and never take the gifts God has given us for granted.

Thank you, E'vann. You have touched and inspired so many lives and I pray that your beautiful soul continues to rest in peace. Amen.

I love helping not only the people that are closest to me, but those that are A LOT less fortunate than myself. 

Through the encouragement of charity fundraising and compelling television adverts, I decided to give monthly donations to cancer research UK (anyone on this planet can have it), UNICEF (helps hundreds of countries worldwide that are in need of desperate help, and oxfam (helping people suffering from a lack of the MOST BASIC ESSENTIALS such as water!! Crazy)

What I love about oxfam in particular, are the newsletters and posts that they send me, letting me know how far my money is going and what help it's doing, which is awesome. 

I can't wait to do so much more as I further my career path as a journalist. One of the many things I've dreamt about is visiting less economically developed countries and rather than advertising how much help the people need, but actually DOING something whilst I'm there. Something I quite frankly remember not being seen on TV. 

I also want it to remind people that if they feel as though donating to a charity isn't enough, how about you doing it yourself, and seeing the change you're making with your own eyes!

Giving > Receiving.

I'm in bed with the flu watching countless amount of episodes of Orange Is The New Black, and last night during sleep I dreamt of all of the amazing plans and potential shows that could happen for my YouTube channel. The excitement and thought process continues to grow. 

Thankfully, I've become quite close with a budding productionee, who I recently spoke with about create amazing new visual shows for my YouTube channel!

It's my favourite time of the year being Summer and I am bursting with ideas of what to come out with on my YouTube channel next. I changed my YouTube name from Hannah Journo to Hannah Journo TV, as well as letting my small number of subscribers know, it's also a self reminder of the incredible things I am about to create!

I'm going to start filming this month and really look forward to creating amazing things. A reliable and helpful team is so crucial and essential, and I'm happy that I've found another creative that is willing to help me along the way as we strengthen our skills to aspire within our industries.

So after my awesome day at the television presenting workshop courtesy of @01zero_one, I was then invited by the lovely project manager to a networking event full of people from different industries.

I met fashion designers, production managers, youtubers, and even entrepreneurs. To me, this networking event wasn't only just connecting with people from the same field as me, but trying something different and connecting with numerous people from different places. 

I guess it's all about creating useful links. The YouTuber I have met may be working towards the hopes of creating a documentary and would like me to host it! (Scenario scenario lol). But yes, it felt so refreshing and different, certainly not the usual kind of networking event I attend

Such a great evening it was!

So through the word of a friend, I was informed of a terrific television presenting course based in Soho, Central London. 

I immediately signed up via eventbrite for the Tv presenting course hosted by @01zero_one and was so happy to have found out about it through a friend!! It's so good being connected I tell you. 

As I also wrote in my personal journal, the day consisted of numerous exercises that would be performed in front of the camera. I still had in mind the notes taken from when I went to the Youth Media Agency and presenting in Ghana too! I was ready to take these skills and practices even further. 

After the first exercise of introducing ourselves in front of a camera in the studio in less than 60 seconds, I felt relieved when my adviser yelled "cut". I guess it's that feeling everyone has knowing that they could have done better. 

However, after actually seeing my recording rolled back, I actually felt quite pleased with how I presented myself. I was even more pleased by the lovely feedback from my advisor and the team too!

As we continued throughout the day with other exercises, I realised that my efforts were shown to others and it gave me a great feeling of humility. The constant reminder that this is my dream and ambition, and I remain confident in it!

I felt like I had my productive mojo back since returning from Ghana, and I don't intend on stopping! 01 zero one also invited me to a networking event taking place this evening where I will be able to meet and greet important people in the television industry. Amazing! Excited. Complimentary champagne too :-)

Impacted. Liberated. Inspired! I'm all for positivity and looking for things that will push me higher. I learnt of Trent last year through random vids on YouTube and can say that he has added a lot to the way I view life. My happiness and joy from The Lord has truly made me who I am today, and I am so grateful to have gone to see him! What a man. I can't comprehend. Just YouTube him. Lol

My notes from the day:
