My first million!

I've been creating video content for nearly 20 years, but this past few months has been a real milestone for me. I got my first million... VIEWS!!!

I had the pleasure of joining the Upworthy original video team in September and since then I've produced, shot and edited around 15 videos for them. Half of them received over 500k views and two of them went bananas - One did over 5.5 million views and one about a dad in Oakland who admitted that he had racial biases, despite adopting an African American daughter reached over 7.5 million people!

It has been an amazing learning experience to work with the folks there and I hope to continue with their team in 2017.

Check the vids out below :D

I've pasted the links to the FB posts if you want to check out the amazing comments from people who have been moved by these stories of empathy and hope.

Newscaster Frank Somerville recently realized the racial bias that he still sometimes feels, even as a member of an interracial family. For more videos that care: http://u.pw/1rPmbv2 "I have a confession to make." This newscaster has a mixed-race family but recently admitted his own racial bias.

Correction 12/14/2016: This video states that Life After Hate has "helped 75 people leave racist hate groups." Life After Hate has helped many people leave these hate groups, but 75 is the total number of former white supremacists they support. Christian Picciolini admits his neo-Nazi past was horrific.
