There’s a moment every artist hits where the work stops being just expression and starts becoming connection.

This was that moment for me.

Creating from the heart, pushing through doubt, shaping ideas into something people can feel — that’s the real grind.And when the votes came in, when the community lifted me into the Top Ten of "The People’s Artist", it wasn’t just a win.

It was proof that the late nights mattered.

The risks mattered.

The vision mattered.

Every share, every comment, every person who believed — you’re part of this chapter.

This recognition isn’t the finish line.
It’s the ignition.

More art. More depth. More evolution.
I’m building something bigger than a moment — I’m building a legacy.

Sent to 22 News Stations. Fingers crossed.

Couldn't help but send to KYW in Philly.

Don't think I should have, too much bad blood, they probably shut down my story in one reflex mass San Diego AP message.

We will see:

Hi Media Team!

I hope you’re all doing well!

I’m reaching out because San Diego–based artist Joel Brooks (myself) has just advanced into the **Top Ten** of *The People’s Artist*, a nationwide arts competition and nonprofit fundraiser run by Colossal. This contest supports The People’s Artist initiative, which brings creative programs to hospitals and other communities in need.

My story is a uniquely local story: a multidisciplinary creator with a network of fourteen websites featuring art, music, writing, and comedy. Most of this work was created using only a Lifeline Phone, and is scaling expectations for social change. I recently expanded this work into helping other local businesses through a new venture, **Ozenoz Media Web Design** (www.ozenoz.com).

This competition is meaningful not only because of the national visibility, but because it directly fuels programs that deliver the arts to people who need them most. Colossal, a nationally registered professional fundraiser, uses competitions like this to inspire everyday people to greatness.

The Art of Elysium pairs volunteer artists with fragile communities in Los Angeles motivated by a belief that artistic practice in the context of public service is a powerful catalyst for social change. Volunteer artists deliver tailor-made programs at hospitals, community centers, senior-care facilities, schools and homeless shelters.

For me, advancing in this competition represents both a personal milestone and an opportunity to amplify the impact of arts access. If I win,  I'll receive national recognition and the ability to further support the mission of bringing creativity into places where it can make a real difference.

I believe this story would resonate strongly with your audience — it’s local, uplifting, and rooted in community impact. I’d be happy to provide interviews, photos, video assets, or connect you with the competition organizers for additional insight.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Best,

Joel Brooks

Professional Statement of Concern Regarding Possible Interference With Media Coverage

From: Joel Brooks, Founder, Ozenoz Media

Re: Inquiry Into Potential Suppression of Coverage Related to The People’s Artist Competition

        I am writing to raise a serious and good‑faith concern regarding what appears to be an unexpected and unusually coordinated lack of response from multiple media outlets following my recent press outreach about my advancement into the Top Ten round of The People’s Artist competition.

        In the past week, several journalists and producers across TV, radio, and print who typically respond promptly to community‑interest stories have gone silent immediately following my pitch.

        While I cannot assert the cause, the pattern is atypical enough to merit clarification. I am aware that industry‑wide advisories or internal bulletins sometimes circulate when a story is flagged—accurately or not—as controversial, sensitive, or potentially problematic.

        If such a notice was issued regarding The People’s Artist competition or my participation in it, I respectfully request confirmation.

        The competition itself has been the subject of online criticism, often framed as a “donation scam.” These claims misrepresent the reality: The People’s Artist is a nonprofit fundraising initiative supporting programs that bring the arts to individuals in hospitals, shelters, senior facilities, and underserved communities.

        My participation is not only a personal milestone but an opportunity to highlight work that benefits vulnerable populations.If a media advisory discouraged coverage—whether due to misunderstanding, outdated information, or mischaracterization—the impact is significant.

        Media visibility directly affects contestants’ ability to advance, and in my case, could influence the outcome of a $25,000 award, a feature in a national art publication, and a gallery exhibition in Los Angeles.

        I also acknowledge the possibility of personal conflict influencing perception. My estranged adoptive father, Brandon Brooks, formerly of KYW, and I have had a long and publicly documented history.

        I raise this only because transparency matters, and any perception of conflict—real or assumed—could unintentionally shape editorial decisions.

        I am not making accusations. I am requesting clarity.

        If an advisory, bulletin, or internal communication discouraged coverage of this competition or my involvement in it, I would appreciate the opportunity to review the basis for that decision.

        If no such communication exists, I welcome confirmation of that as well. My goal is simple: to ensure that my work, and the charitable mission behind this competition, is not being misrepresented or inadvertently suppressed.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
