• About Dolphin Head

    Story Bridge

    Dolphin Head Story Bridge is a multimedia platform that unveils compelling human interest stories set against the backdrop of the captivating Dolphin Head Forest Reserve in Western Jamaica. This initial platform was born from a collaboration between Amelia Wilehlmina Elliott-Harvey Estates and OurStoryBridge.

     

    The initial Dolphin Head Story Bridge phase was made possible through individual grants and other in-kind support services obtained from Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA), the Native American Media Alliance (NAMA), Oolite Arts, the Miami Film Festival, and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. This support was further bolstered by the backing of the Miami-Dade County Mayor, the Board of County Commissioners, the Cultural Affairs Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts with American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding.

     

    Despite this foundational support, our journey towards becoming a local newsroom is ongoing. Our recently-approved application for fiscal sponsorship under schedule Model C with SIMA STUDIOS is a testament to our dedication to our mission and our aim to significantly impact storytelling, cultural preservation, and environmental awareness.

     

    Dolphin Head Story Bridge is a tribal media member of Indigenous Journalists Association.
