The Beach 5 program is a program that is also youth-centered. Each young person has several individual projects that they focus on that improves the neighborhood and adds something valuable to the RBAC program in general. Look forward to hearing more about their projects in the upcoming website/e-news posts…

This gentleman is Messiah who is a part of the Beach 5 program. He is also the person responsible for most of the videos that are on the RBAC or FreedomNet website. Also the person responsible for the Corner Greeters flyer design and the Facebook banner on Rainier Beach’s website.  A lot of time he works alone on the Olympics computer. He estimates that he has done at least 7-10 video for RBAC. Considering how labor intensive video editing can be this is very impressive. He goes to school for design, animation, and things of that nature. So in a couple of years, you can find him in the rolling credits of the next great animated movie.  He is currently working on a video for the Othello Square Festival that RBAC recently dispatched a Community Newz team to. Before he started on this video he added the finishing touches on the Rainier Beach Emergency Communication Emergency Hub drill video. Look for his work up on the website soon! Messiah also graduated from Rainier Beach High School and was also a member of the breakdancing team. If you are lucky enough you might find JJ and Messiah in a dance battle at one of our events.

Messiah works with a lot of the technical stuff. He does a lot of media management and handles a lot of RBAC’s social media work. He is the person to go to if you need help with a camera or any other equipment. He has been doing more of design work. Making posters and focusing on our physical media.   His first personal project was the banner for our Facebook page. Which turned out very well. For the summer he is working on a personal project creating a brochure of all the art installments in the Rainier Beach. Hopefully, his project can be converted digitally shown on the website. His favorite color is blue although he isn’t sure which shade of blue. His favorite place that he has traveled to is Hawaii. The sand and the ocean are beautiful there. He also has a lot a love for Los Angeles. Some things you should know about him are that he’s very nice, and is really close to his friends.  If he could pick any superpower he would pick teleportation. Although he enjoys riding his bike, teleportation would be great in a pinch.
