bygMEDIA plans to venture into books, film, TV and video production, delivering content for students, educators and parents. There's no reason why education cannot be entertaining. Ours is a visual, fast-paced culture where entertainment rules. Educational material must compete to simply gain attention --much less teach. bygMEDIA seeks to be the leader in edu-tainment material for the middle and high school market.

17 to Life: A Black Boy Memoir (On Becoming a Human... Being in America)
Here are ten documentary films about my first four years in America, from fourth through eighth grade. You'll hear me reading from 17 to Life. Educators and parents are encouraged to use the material to engage students into examining the events and circumstances that create a young person present and help shape their future.
OIL-- (BLACK AND LIQUID IN MODERNITY)
I've come into BLACKNESS in America. Once, it was a darkness I ran from. Then, I didn't know what it meant. Now, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, with a Black son presiding no less, what will BLACKNESS mean? What has changed in the darkness? What new light shines on? I know the human being... I am. I just happen to be black while being human. This is the light of my reasoning. Look. Listen. Begin your own journey through the darkness in you.
