Deep dives
Origins of Jubilee Media
Jubilee Media originated from a desire to raise awareness and funds for various social causes, sparked by the founder's experience during the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Initially begun as a nonprofit called Jubilee Project, the company aimed to create impactful videos to support issues like clean water and education. The subsequent emotional and national division post-2016 election motivated the founder to pivot towards Jubilee Media, with a mission focused on empathy and dialogue amidst increasing polarization. This shift marked a commitment to exploring diverse perspectives and facilitating conversations that could bridge ideological divides.
