ABOUT ICAN

ICAN VISION

To be the brand of choice that inspires youth to reach beyond limitations and develop a positivistic thinking that will challenge them to personify ICAN.

ICAN MISSION

To provide an array of services that meets the needs of today’s youth through clothing, entertainment, and public services that facilitates the belief of being capable of achieving all things.

The ICAN Company was founded in 2001 by Shannon Battle. The company provides residential housing for troubled teens as well as life skills training for the teens. The ICAN Company also consists of an open forum style talk show for adolescents aged 12-20, featuring Shannon Battle as host. Within this talk show, Shannon addresses different topics such as gang violence, entrepreneurs, drugs, bullying, and other common issues that teens seldom ask for help with. Shannon creates an open-door feeling in the group and allows teens to communicate effectively with her and with one another in an unbiased setting. With Shannon’s creative and innovative way of reaching teens, she has the ability on camera to reach thousands of teens who might be struggling with the same issues.

The ICAN talk show consists of a main host, Mrs. Shannon Battle, her teen panel, which consists of two to four alternating teens, who act as rotating co-hosts, depending on the topics being discussed during each episode, and several local area teens which have worked closely with Shannon in the past.

Within each episode, Shannon and her co-hosts address specific issues and challenge the opinions of participating teens. Shannon, her panel of co-hosts, and teen participants typically discuss one major issue per episode, open-forum style, and debate on the positives and negatives.

They challenge each other to unfold and critique each other’s personal views which may not have come to surface, had they not openly discussed these topics as a group. Group discussions are the main basis of this show, and the teens, as well as Shannon feed off of each other’s ideas and opinions, giving youth everywhere new concepts and an “outside the box” alternative way of thinking.

The ICAN Talk show reaches the middle school through high school demographic, and discusses topics that teens everywhere are dealing with, regardless of race or geographical location. All topics of discussion are relevant in today’s ever changing, steadily-maturing, adolescent society. All teen participants have a vast knowledge of each topic chosen for discussion, which creates a plentiful supply of show content.
