video blogging of Crown Heights

As I was contemplating exactly how I wanted to start writing more journalism pieces, I thought about conducting interviews with people in my neighborhood.  I've stopped by and chatted with these people, but wouldn't it be interesting to hear their life stories?  How did Lily, a Nigerian woman with a PhD in pharmaceutical science end up opening a bakery?  How does Sue Rock, who donates all of her profits from her clothing store to local rape shelters, support herself?  Ja, who makes juices and soups at Veggie Haven on Franklin Ave, works every day and commutes to and from the Bronx.  How did he and his mother open a business in Crown Heights?
