Since we started doing this work back in 2006, we have gathered a fair amount of media attention. This has not only been good for expanding our mission, it also shines a light on the kids who all too often fall through the cracks in our world. Here are some television spots about us that we’ve recorded in the past few years.
This is our 2023 CNN Heroes feature. It provides some good insight into how our work can affect the healing of the kids.
This is a piece by the Detroit CBS affiliate, filmed during a session at Vista Maria in Dearborn Heights. This provides good insight into how the Lost Voices process works and how it affects the kids. It’s one of the few chances for the public to see the faces of our kids in action.
Here is an appearance by Lost Voices founder Mike Ball on CW50. He had a chance to talk about the mission and promise of Lost Voices, an upcoming fundraising Concert, and to sing two songs written by the incarcerated kids.
This is Lost Voices founder Mike Ball along with harmonica virtuoso Peter Madcat Ruth performing a folk song called How Many Years during a separate CW50 TV Detroit. The lyrics were written by incarcerated youth in the Lost Voices program.
This is Mike and Madcat performing a blues song called Eddie’s Choice on CW50 TV Detroit. The song was written by youth in the very first Lost Voices program in 2006, with the help of Mike Ball and folk music legend Josh White, Jr.
