Creatively,

As social media continues to be an integral part of our daily lives, it’s essential that it be used not only to connect socially, but as a source of truth for key information; particularly to young people. Noting that the budget and its particulars are complex, this year, I invited 4 Bermudian social media personalities, each with a unique following and distinct voice, for 1:1 interviews to answer questions and take a deep dive into the issues close to them and their audiences. I really enjoyed these collaborations and I hope these conversations can offer valuable bite sized chunks of information about the work that the @BdaGovernment does each day on behalf of the people of Bermuda and especially our young people. These collaborations will be released as a 4-part series ‘Candid Convos With the Premier' and will feature: @DionTheCreative, @stfucarly, @qiandickinson and Yassine the Artist. We’ll be covering a range of topics that are currently generating a lot of interest and discussion, such as: - “Why doesn’t Bermuda have ApplePay?” - “What are the Government’s plans to help promote local creatives?” - “Who is Bermuda in debt to?” - “What education opportunities are there for adults?” - “What did the Auditor General report get wrong?” - “Does the Government have any plans to help revitalise St. George’s?” - “What will happen to the empty school buildings?” And that’s just to name a few! Mark your calendars - the first episode with @DionTheCreative drops on Friday 🎬. Have any questions of your own? Drop a comment down below - I’d love to hear from you. #LetsGetCandid 🎥: @qiandickinson
