On October 6^th, Start Strong Bronx and d expósito & partners, a NYC-based Hispanic ad agency, held a Media Day to garner support for the pro bono youth campaign that the agency developed to spread the message. They met with representatives from several media outlets, including Univision Radio, Telemundo, VoodooVox Hispanic Network, Impacto Latino Media Group and Estrella TV, among others, to highlight their innovative work on the ground. The following day, BET filmed a special performance “Texting 4 Life,” a play on digital dating abuse performed  by Pregones Theater, a community partner,  being used to educate the community about teen dating violence.  Local Start Strong Bronx school students were also interviewed for this story on digital dating abuse, which is expected to run on BET.com in the next few weeks.
