Thank you to everyone who has reached out to share how much the #BareFeetSeries has meant to them, especially over the past few months.   

As most of you know by now, government funding for the cpbmedia1967, which supports public media, including pbs & npr) has been cancelled. That includes all future AND previously approved funding.

But please know this: PBS is NOT gone. NPR is NOT gone. Yes, it will be more challenging for us to tell our stories, and unfortunately, a lot of the rural PBS & NPR stations will no longer have the sufficient support to keep going.

As I’ve said before, please don’t give us on us because we won’t give up on you. I’ve had the most emotional interactions with our fans than ever before, sharing tears of how our show spreads JOY through the ARTS, through DIVERSE VOICES, & through HUMAN CONNECTION: 

“Your show is remarkable. Thank you for this deeply human and inspiring work.” - Deborah L.

“In this day of negativity, I feel compelled to reach out and compliment you on your really great show…I love how you cover the various nationalities that you integrate into your program. Keep doing what you are doing!” - Michael C.

“Thank you Mickela. I have to let you know how your show exudes such positivity of joy and hope in my life…Your acceptance of all people and cultures exemplifies how others just want to be seen and included. In turn, they show such generosity and graciousness toward you and us (your audience). Please, keep letting my eyes tear up, my heart swell up, and my soul soar.” - Ray G.

We cannot do this without the support of our sponsors & supporters, including VIEWERS LIKE YOU. If you are a non-profit or a brand who believes in the power of the arts and understands the value of public television, please reach out, we want to work with you! 

We are in our final round of fundraising to get our newest Season 8 out on PBS starting December 1.

And if you’re a fan who loves our show and wants to help, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Bare Feet Season 8 (link in profile). Every, single dollar counts.

Thank you to everyone who has loved & supported us, we couldn’t have done it without you.
