Mingle Media TV and our Red Carpet Report team with host Jennifer Marshall were at the “Got Your 6 Storytellers” event held in partnership with the Television Academy at the new Wolf Theatre in the Saban Media Centre.
We spoke with a number of veterans and Entertainment Industry executives about the importance of our military storytellers before they delivered their inspirational ideas, accomplishments, philosophies, and the many contributions they have been making in their communities and workplaces.
