The Von Boozier Twins sat down with the TV executive to chat about building Fox Soul and elevating Black voices. <span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tell us about Fox Soul and the inspiration behind creating the streaming digital television network?</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fox Soul is Fox’s first live and interactive OTT (over-the-top media) service dedicated to the Black community. The inspiration was to build a platform that truly allows the voices of the culture to be heard in its rawest, unfiltered form. The main issue I have seen within this space is Black people never really had a voice or seat at the table. Fox owns and funds Fox Soul, but there are Black minds making the decisions from top to bottom regarding Fox Soul and our culture, and I am inspired by this fact on a daily basis.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">As the head of programming, how important is it to develop content that not only tells our stories but impacts the Black community and culture?</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fox Soul is Fox’s first live and interactive OTT (over-the-top media) service dedicated to the Black community.

I believe the community is better served when those voices and stories can be heard and appreciated beyond the privacy of our homes. Our purpose for existing is to provide that platform. It’s very important that we develop content that entertains, educates, and inspires. We must continue to showcase all the great attributes that we have as a culture. We aim to celebrate our rhythms and our blues through our content.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">What were some challenges faced during the pandemic with ensuring the network’s ability to continue producing content that would inspire, uplift, and keep viewers entertained?</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">First, the pandemic was very difficult for so many in many different ways, and my prayers are for everyone to bounce back better and stronger than before. Now, we were operating out of our studio prior to the pandemic and were forced to shut down for about two weeks. The team spent that time brainstorming on how to continue to grow the network, as we were only a few months into Fox Soul at that point. The technology allowed us to produce the shows from home via Zoom; it actually allowed us to expand our reach and footprint during this time. Our guests didn’t have to be in Los Angeles in order to be on the shows any longer. This allowed us to have the guests we really wanted and needed no matter where they were in the world. The viewers could still interact in real-time with our hosts and shows as we continue to stay true to our mission of being live and interactive where you hear and see our voices and our truth. Moving forward, we will probably operate in some sort of hybrid of studio and in a virtual setting.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fox Soul has attracted and features quite the celebrity host lineup. Can we expect any shows and content from some emerging talent and creators?</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">We are always looking for talent, established or emerging, that brings a real voice and perspective to the network. I have tried to shorten the traditional greenlight process that so many Black creators find difficult when it comes to getting their work produced. We are very blessed in the fact that agents, creators, etc., are looking at Fox Soul as a viable destination for content creators. As we continue to build and grow, we are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to finding the right talent and stories that speak to the culture.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">What content can viewers expect for the upcoming season?</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">We are developing our first music competition show now. We are getting into the crime space, the travel and lifestyle space. We are also continuing to do strategic content partnerships with other Black outlets similar to what we have now with Black Enterprise. We want to have something for everyone in the household for this upcoming season.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">For more information and programming, visit foxsoul.tv to be a part of the experience.

A pillar of strength and a foundation to lean on when families are weak, experiencing all the emotions that go along with grief. Funeral home owner and director of Lisa S. Dozier Funeral Service, says it’s business as usual, despite the circumstance. <span><a name='more'></a></span></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Brooklyn funeral home owner’s job became even more challenging, with new national guidelines and city mandates from the result of COVID-19. Under the new mandates; funerals are limited to ten people or less, not allowing families to have a traditional funeral. However, Dozier at this difficult time is bridging the gap, offering live stream services not stationary to a funeral home, but available at churches as well. This alternative allows as many extended family and friends to join in remotely, and memorialize their loved one the right way! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dozier, an innovative funeral director, has introduced to her line of services, live streaming. She says people are happy with the new alternative. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">“The alternative for a live-streamed funeral allows extended family members to join the service and their families remotely. People have been very receptive, to this alternative option. Also, it’s not like I have created this law, it’s all over the news and has been a law made by the government; because people are seeing everything themselves on the news every day, they’re understanding and receptive. By all means, please know they are happy about the alternative but not happy they have to do it under these circumstances.” </span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitg__7ky9BIEC2xeXuuBu80RTQ27ufFAtGIiCT1LFo-VHTgJu0hCplBG331lvEB_JJwXbBoxVE3pbrX6O703xbsLpBAMm2eINiUe8DBkP27hz8vEB0UEJJ8_ihVGfUcMdXpx_XejieEIw/s640/lisa-dozier-funeral-home-march-30-2020-by-paul-frangipane007.jpg" /></a> <br /><div style="text-align: center;">Lisa S. Dozier Funeral Services on Atlantic Avenue - Photo: Paul Frangipane </div> <br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"> The streaming service lets participants do more then watch the funeral service of a loved one, but also engage online, as physical attendees of a funeral is at a minimum. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Live streaming is definitely shorter. Not many people are in the room, a preacher is present to give words of encouragement and it’s a one-hour viewing, during a live streaming funeral. Live streaming is also still engaging than others may assume. During the last viewing, families are allowed to leave comments during the final viewing. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">And as Dozier and her staff try to provide families closure, through a personalized funeral service, they too face great risks. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Personally, my staff and I are exposed to individuals who have died due to COVID-19. We are at great risks every day, so we have simply been focusing on protecting ourselves daily. However, it has affected my business and the entire funeral industry tremendously because family members can’t properly grieve and are being robbed of the right to grieve.” </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dozier tells us she has one hope when the pandemic comes to a halt. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">“I hope we all continue to live a clean and healthy lifestyle. I hope the world begins to view life differently and not take things for granted. My staff and I share the same passion and practice, the same universal preparation, which is knowing God Got Us!” </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">To learn more about the Lisa S.
