Filipino-American TV host Jannelle So is offering Facebook Live webinars with lifestyle tips on coping with the new normal.
The Virtual SOjourn special marks Jannelle TV’s 3rd-anniversary and offers insights on how you can keep your sanity when you can’t go out, can’t meet friends, or can’t plan for the future.
Virtual SOjourn presents the webinars as solutions to “many issues coming up that make us feel like it’s 1918, 1932, and 1968 all at the same time, we get by with a little help from prayer, family and friends.”
“The only major difference of 2020 from these long-gone eras that feel vaguely familiar is that at least in this time and age, we can still see each other and get together, even virtually.
“While people these days can feel so tired, so anxious, and so unsure, we need to meet people who will guide us, console us, or relate with us in the ways where we’re the same, and going through the similar things.”
Jannelle So is a Filipino-American media pioneer, making a name for herself as the creator, and original host and producer of America’s first and only daily show for and about the Filipinos, “Kababayan TODAY” on KSCI-TV LA18. The show that ran for 8.5 years under Jannelle’s leadership, was also the longest-running Filipino daily talk show outside of the Philippines.
“In 90 minutes, we will go on a Virtual SOjourn with Jannelle So and travel from being So Awoke to being So Aware to being So Alive. We’d love for our audience to reflect with us, transform with us, and realize with us, that there are things that are important, things that are critical and things that are of true value,” So said.
Virtual Sojourn will take place Live on Facebook on July 25, Saturday at 10 pm Eastern and 1 pm Pacific in the US (July 26, Sunday, 10 am Manila) on Facebook.com/sojannelle.
