Launching R Barnes Media

2017 has been an amazing year! I've gonne places that I never even imagined I would. I achieved feats unimaginable. Scraping togehter money and using resouces around me at my disposal, I achieved my goal of promoting my brand and my HBCU Fort Valley State University on a national level! For 2018, I need your help!

Everyone asks me what I want for my birthday. All I want is for my  business to thrive and to continue to grow in my craft. In found my two passions, storytelling and HBCU's. In 2018 I serously want to move towards my goal of being one of the premiere voices on millenial life today and a leading HBCU social infuencer.  I want to push the Randall Barnes, R Barnes Media and HBCU Pulse brand to the next level. That means it's time to get into film! 

I want to use these funds to buy equipment that will allow me to complete my documentary projects and create high quality visuals about HBCU & Millenial life that rivals that of major networks. My parents have invested in my dream time and time again and I hustle to garner money for myself to aid my passion for filming. Much of the equipment needed to make competitive projects such as my documentary "Homecoming: A True HBCU Experience" and my various other documentary, docu-series and web series projects/ideas are out of my price range. For that, I need your help!
