HBCU GO Series Focuses On Mental Health
The Arc 12 Project: Open Lines was inspired and co-created by Howard University Senior Noah Thierry, bringing together HBCU students and young influencers battling severe mental health issues. The one-hour premiere episode of The Arc 12 Project: Open Lines will air this Saturday, May 28 at 1pm ET and 7pm ET, hosted by former WPGC/Washington morning talent Joe Clair. The show will also be available on demand on June 2 via the hbcugo.tv app.
HBCU GO Co-Founder & President Curtis Symonds commented, “We are proud to be the first network to support a revolutionary program around mental health among people of color. The Arc 12 Project: Open Lines excites our team because the idea and movement emanated organically from a single HBCU student and his father trying to navigate their own complex mental health journey.”
Noah Thierry noted, “I’m lucky to have the constant support from my family and access to resources to help me battle my own mental health challenges each and every day. I know so many others within my generation who aren’t as fortunate. I’m motivated to change the narrative with this magnificent movement through media and social/ grassroots platforms such as the The Arc 12 Project: Open Lines.”
