Finding Community Through Stories: Marvinetta’s Journey with PMN

2 Min Read
At the heart of everybody’s story is a desire to make a difference,” Marvinetta Penn says. And for her, Public Media Network is the bridge that turns that desire into action. As a producer with PMN, Marvinetta has seen firsthand the impact of local storytelling. “The power of having local people tell their stories is huge,” she shares — watch her full interview here

Public Media Network isn’t just a media organization. It’s a launchpad for voices that often go unheard. From offering access to equipment to providing the support needed to host a podcast or produce a show, PMN works to break down barriers that prevent people from sharing their stories. 

This is a place where anyone can come in and have a voice.

Her passion is contagious, and she’s determined to invite others into the fold. “If someone is thinking about getting involved, come see me,” she says with a smile. “Be a guest on my show, and you’ll think, ‘Oh, I can do this.'” 

Now Marvinetta is calling on you to help ensure PMN can continue its mission. “For those of you who might be thinking about donating — donate,” she urges. “For those of you who haven’t thought about donating — donate! I read a quote once that said, ‘You wanna know what people really value? Look at their checkbook.’ Where you give your money shows what you value. PMN is a huge resource in our community. Let’s value it more.”

Marvinetta’s story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible. With your support, we can amplify more voices, share more stories, and create a stronger community. Join us in making a difference.
