The SpeakEasy M.E.D.I.A. Foundation was founded in January 2009 in honor of the late Andria Hall, an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and dedicated advocate for effective communication. Andria was the former President of SpeakEasy M.E.D.I.A. Incorporated, a consulting firm inspiring clear and impactful communication across North America and the Caribbean.
Andria left an incredible mark in the media industry throughout her illustrious career. From her time at the CNN/USA news anchor desk to her role as a national correspondent with FOX Network and as an anchor in New York City’s top-rated NBC affiliate, Andria earned her the prestigious Gabriel and DuPont Awards. Her legacy of excellence and passion for communication serves as the foundation’s guiding light.
The SpeakEasy M.E.D.I.A. Foundation was established to provide scholarships and health services to disadvantaged youth in the United States and the Caribbean, particularly those pursuing careers in Communications.
In 2020, we expanded our mission by partnering with Mindful Movement Florida, bringing holistic health and wellness programs to underserved youth and adults. Mindful Movement uses yoga and mindfulness practices to promote self-regulation, empowerment, and education for people of all ages.
Today, SpeakEasy M.E.D.I.A. continues its mission under the leadership of a dedicated board of directors, meeting quarterly to plan impactful initiatives. We are proud to be a recognized IRS 501(c)(3) organization committed to fostering growth, education, and wellness for communities most in need.
