VNN This Month In America | February 2022

It's a short month, so here's a short recap!

Hey, Verified News Community! Brittany Harlow here for VNN’s This Month in America | February 2022. 

Our journalists shared how their communities are celebrating Black History Month, from the 4th Annual Black History Expo in Broome County, New York, to streets being renamed in honor of civil rights heroes in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 

VNN told you all about how small businesses and entrepreneurs can join in the NFT game, and we’re right there with you, launching our first NFT Collection “Illustrated News Stories” available now on OpenSea. 

Another technology first for VNN- Metaverse Adventures launched this month. We know it can be kind of daunting to explore new technologies, that’s why we’re taking the plunge and you along for the ride. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to join us as we livestream yours truly taking part in different metaverse experiences for the first time. 

New VNN Journalist Renae Morgan tells us how Covid ramifications are stacking up against single mother households and how a local foundation is pivoting around the pandemic to continue their commitment to youth services. 

In national news, The Blox reality TV show debuted this month. VNN co-owner BetaBlox’s new show is considered the “largest live-in startup competition on the planet”. Leaders of 20 start-up companies from all over the country train and test during the day then battle it out to be Leaders of the Blox at night. VNN competes on Season 2. 

Local sponsor KO Fitness and Firearms in Henryetta, Oklahoma, delivering on some great Love and Protect stories this month. “The History of the Second Amendment” and “Why Strong Mental Health Is as Important as a Strong Body” are both available now.

Plus, many more stories we did not talk about today, all waiting for you on the VNN app!
