How Do You #HALO ?

KiDz HuB Cover the 8th Nickelodeon #HALOAwards 2016

The 2016 HALO Awards is one of the huge annual events that Nickelodeon stages each year. The #HALOawards honors the hard work of four youth who are making a difference in their communities, by H-elping A-nd L-eading O-thers (HALO). Created and hosted by by Nick Cannon, the HALO Awards is in its 8th year.

The KiDz HuB Network was on the orange carpet to cover it all. In 2014, hubbers saw and interviewed celebrities and even got to interview Nick Cannon himself. This year my fellow Junior Broadcasters, Roland and Emma did a pinky swear that they would get Nick Cannon to dance with the. They practiced on the carpet and Nick obliged. The hashtag is #DanceWithNick." Nickelodeon will share the stories of these 4 youth leaders and help to amplify their mission and tell their story.

I was honored to be part of the broadcast team. I would like to congratulate the other members of the KiDz HuB team for covering the Nickelodeon HALO Awards. Great Job Team ! #HALOawards
