Selena Gomez, Nina Dobrev, Sofia Carson and Paulina Char, Justin Tranter, and Charm La’Donna are among the prominent guests headlining this social awareness series “Giving Back Generation,” hosted by Raquelle Stevens, which debuted exclusively on the social entertainment platform and app TaTaTu.
The 3-season series (roughly hour-long episodes) features groups of guests opening up and candidly discussing important issues and life lessons facing today’s teens and young adults — such as friendship, empowerment, inclusion, paying it forward, positivity, mental health, and more, with the common goal of giving back.
The series was born through a collaboration with producer Andrea Iervolino, producer/director Chiara Tilesi, and Raquelle Stevens because young adults and teens are struggling more than ever with finding their place and making a positive impact in the world around them.
SEASON 2 - Ashley Cook, Chiara Tilesi, Selena Gomez & Raquelle Stevens
“Giving Back Generation” addresses the ways in which they work to give back to their communities and others in their lives through their actions and positive self-expression. The series is executive produced by Andrea Iervolino, Monika Bacardi and Chiara Tilesi.
“Giving Back Generation” is the debut series from TaTaTu’s dedicated social impact department and marks a larger push into community activism & global stewardship through the development of content while supporting the voices of socially-minded content creators.
Seasons 2 and 3 primarily focus on the different aspects of mental health, including eating disorders, overcoming grief, healing through food, bullying, inclusion, and the power of community. Through deep and personal conversations, artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, actors, and singers share touching and personal experiences on how they give back and create social impact. The series includes stories from Selena Gomez, actress Leonor Varela, Jay & Radhi Shetty, Gabe Kennedy, chef Serena Poon & many other honored guests.
“After filming season one of Giving Back Generation, I was looking forward to continuing the series in 2020, then the pandemic hit. It was a time of a lot of uncertainty and reflection. As life started to somewhat normalize again, I was having so many conversations with friends who were feeling anxious and unsure about what was ahead. I was reading articles with staggering statistics about people struggling with their mental health. Through all of these conversations and research, I wanted to keep the series the same where I talk to people about their life journeys and how they use their life to give back, but I thought it was extremely important for seasons two and three focus specifically on talking to individuals that use their platforms to make a difference in the mental health space. All of the conversations in both seasons are uplifting and inspiring, but also offer practical ways to better our mental health in these uncertain times we are living in. My hope is always that people will be encouraged and know that they are not alone.” - Raquelle Stevens
