DC Small Business to Launch Renegade Teens Radio, Hosted by Hispanic Teen CEO Patricio Quezada

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 22, 2009 -- Washington, DC – Group Interactive, Inc., an experiential and progressive youth workforce development and youth entrepreneurship curriculum design company, announced today that it will sponsor and launch a new online radio program on October 1, 2009 called Renegade Teens. The show will be hosted by Patricio Quezada, 18, Founder of Hispanics Learn.com, a Washington, DC metro based bilingual technology training and consulting company for the Hispanic community.

“Our Renegade CEO’s program is about encouraging and empowering teens to claim and own their space in the universe. More and more we are discovering that ‘owning a business or being an entrepreneur’ is not attached to them. It is really about their personal journey, being recognized as a pioneer and getting credit for whatever contributions they make to society,” said Shonika Proctor, Founder of Group Interactive, Inc. “There are too many mixed messages out there about teens and their role and place in society. All too often adults speak about teens and their impact on society in 'Future Tense' when they need to be speaking in 'Present Perfect Tense'. The reality is they have already hit several milestones emotionally, socially, economically and philanthropically. This is exactly what the radio program aims to bring to the forefront of public awareness.”

Host of Renegade Teens Radio, Patricio Quezada, 18, will chat with and about teens who ‘Live It’ first vs. ‘Learn It’. The show will explore the dynamic and uncensored lives of determined teens in the U.S. and abroad that are beating the odds in life, school and business, regardless of their current life circumstances. Featured guests will include teen entrepreneurs and visionaries and adults/community leaders who proudly support young people. On the third Thursday of the month the show will feature a Hispanic entrepreneur and the interview will be conducted in Spanish. The show will naturally be Rated R…for Renegade. Teen Discretion is advised. The show was inspired by Wendy Franklin Muhammad founder of The Authentic You Online.
