Hosts:
Arik Gilbert + BJ Ojulari
Info:
Alone Together on May 12th is hosted by LSU football players Arik Gilbert and BJ Ojulari. Arik and BJ responded to what they heard and saw in their high school moment by spearheading a schoolwide movement to put a line through isolation. Social isolation was plaguing the climate with anxiety, depression, devices, stress and suicidal thoughts.
Today, they continue to be integral leaders in Whisper expanding it to a much larger audience. They want to deliver hope in the middle of the pandemic. Not only do they want you to come hear what they have to say for this moment--they want you to have somewhere to go and someone to hear what you have to say. They want you to join them to put a line through isolation in your own life.

Special Guest: Dr. Gary Davison
Info:
Alone Together is co-hosted on May 19 by Covenant College Freshmen Jay Patterson. Known for his fun, genuine enthusiastic personality combined with a compassion for others, Jay is the kind of guy who you want backing you up--and his ability to defend others counted most on the soccer field as he led his high school team Lambert Longhorns to the top winning two straight 7-AA State Championships. His foray into collegiate success this year led him to winning USA south all-conference first team. Jay was a major influencer for the mission Whisper is spearheading--and you won't want to miss watching this in action.
Alone Together will be co-hosted on May 19th by Nick Alliston. Besides making scores on the soccer field that led his team to 2 straight 7-AA State Championship victories, Nick is a difference maker off of the field, too, as he picked up the mantle to lead Whisper to mark lives with hope and love. Now he's studying finance at UGA to prepare for a bright future ahead. Nick's talent pool is deep in both book smart and people smart, a powerful combination to benefit the world.

Why?
Even before the COVID-19 crisis suddenly shutdown society, Whisper has been battling to solve social isolation that is plaguing the world with anxiety, stress, depression, hopelessness, excessive screentime, family turmoil and suicides. With these issues climbing up the walls of the hallways students have nowhere to go and no one to listen to them and what they have to say.
We believe students are given a gift when they are empowered to own a movement. Students can take the reigns by themselves with conversations. So how Whisper does that is it’s a grassroots movement that starts with us, the students, who know what the problem is and how to fix it. Together, with students leading the charge, we can tell a different story—and stay connected amidst the lockdown.
Weekly moments like these are meant to give you emotional ammo through connection concepts to thrive not just survive while stuck at home. We want to see you cling to the idea of something that’s real. Not just another program or club, but a movement and a new mindset.
If what you experience has a mark on you, then there may be an opportunity to take the helm for spearheading this at your own school, and leave your own mark post-COVID-19.
