they've had enough. it's been a hectic 48 hours for them. the good news is, this hurricane will not hit the east coast. it will continue out to sea monday into tuesday. however it will be close enough to us that we'll feel some of the effects in regards to high surf and even those rip tides, but other than that, we're okay, thankfully. it could have been a lot worse. live look at doppler radar. we're north of the stationary front so we keep the clouds and drizzle in and chance of a couple of light showers. first to the rain. we want to time out the hour by hour chance here. 7:00 a.m. starting here. maybe hit or miss light showers. most of us experiencing the drizzle and clouds. an annoying day as that continues into this evening and into the overnight. nothing too heavy showing up, but we'll keep the drizzle in. onshore flow into sunday will

15 delicious flavors, each 80 calories.

good morning, everyone. i'm yadires nova-salcedo. welcome to "centro." we begin with our news highlights. usa today released its ranking of the top ten journalism schools in america. an emerson college inbox continues to be on top while boston university placed fourth behind northeastern university. emerson and bu beat out high profile ones. news. media affects the way we think, feel, and behave. it viewed responsibly, they connect, share and learning. unfor the i, many of our teens command the power of the tools without the media literacy and critical thinking skills in's to navigate the system safely. today on "centro," we want to tell you about the message, a

movement to empower teens to think for themselves and become empowered adults in the 21st century. to tell us more about this message, with us this morning is the founder and director, ju many. a ennis. good morning, juma. >> good morning. >> i can say this is a big problem and i can even say it's not even a problem just within youth. it's a problem with adults, too. talk to us about that. >> you know, upwards of -- i'll say that. the average north american teenager spends upwards of 11 hours per day with media listening to music, being on social media, watching movies, it. being exposed for long periods of time to all sorts of influences, some of them aren't the best. some of them have drug and alcohol abuse and the like.

is that those messages can influence lifelong negative attitudes and behaviors in young people that put they're futures at risk. that's where the message comes in. >> it's a great message, yuma. what made you want to do this? >> for me it started with music. i'm a recording artist and producer as well. so i spent close to a decade working with at-risk youth using music as a vehicle to establish relationships and mentorships with them. through those experiences, i learned that media can affect and shape a young person's attitude and behaviors in a profound way. these behaviors are not just isolated to one person. they affect communities, society, and the world, right? so i knew that the game needed to be changed. there needed to be something

big, massive and relatable to area. so with that, i went back to school to acquire more skills in media and marketing. grabbed a couple of degrees and message. >> tell us about the message. how does it work? three programs. the first is the message tour. it is a live music tour. academy. it is a 10-week digital literacy workshop that teaches kids the hands-on exercises and with media. >> okay. >> the third we call ju many. a ma talks and those are from cyberbullying to job seeking skills to how to build healthy friendships and relationships. if young people are dealing with it, juma talks speaks to it. >> are you having success somewhat response are you having from the youth?

>> great, great. they are loving it. >> do they understand that what they are posting, for instance, on the internet today could affect their future? do they understand that? right? >> yes, yes. >> a lot of them, not until i tell them. we do workshops on personal branding. that's where i get into a lot of that because what you post on social media, you know, google is merciless, you know? it can follow you for the rest of your life. >> and the future. >> last year, 48% of employers googled and searched their job candidates' social media profiles as a part of the hiring process. >> yes. i want to thank you so much for coming by. let me give them a phone number and e-mail where they can get more information to contact you guys. such a great message. >> thank you for having me.
