The Black Vote is a show hosted by Bruce B. Holmes that focuses on the voting trends of African Americans and how candidates use their platforms to influence the outcome of elections. The Black Vote will interview current and upcoming political figures, law makers, community activists and of course the voters. This show will bring a unique perspective to the opinions of every segment of the black community.
Holmes said that both news shows will bring about conversations regarding the future of Black America and the power of voting, along with discussions about policy that specifically impact black communities, either in a positive or negative way based on perception and the current climate.
“The first show will air in the month of May. This opportunity is such a blessing and allows me to transition into a whole different area in my professional career. I’ve been blessed to be a professional athlete for seven years working in the biotech industry as director of national accounts for 20 years covering the whole country, serving my community on the BOC for three terms and learning my most recent craft as a commercial general contractor,” said Holmes. “This opportunity allows me to stretch myself even further by utilizing creativity that I know is within me. Although these two shows will be taped here in Atlanta, they will be national in scope and run on national TV outlets. I hope we can continue to develop great content that will educate our community, open the eyes of the lost and improve lives.”
He also said that the programs will use local talent for production, in order to grow local businesses that focus on the TV and film industry as their trade.
Holmes said he will use his decade-long experience as a county commissioner to bring a unique perspective to viewers.
