CCX Create Board of Directors Candidate – Ilona Parunakova

As a producer with CCX Media since 2022, I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of community-driven storytelling. My journey with CCX Media isn’t just personal—it’s a family affair.

Both my daughter and son have joined me in this venture, sharing a commitment to amplify voices and make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Together, we’ve seen how the stories we tell can inspire positive change, cultivate understanding, and bring people together in ways that transcend the screen. 

With a multicultural background and experience as a licensed school teacher, I bring a unique perspective that informs my work. My commitment to education and inclusivity has shaped my understanding of the diverse challenges and triumphs within our community.

This year, I’m proud to serve as an election judge, further deepening my connection to civic engagement and the importance of representation. I am passionate about showcasing stories that highlight resilience and the diverse experiences that shape our neighborhoods.

I believe my contributions can help CCX Media continue to succeed by fostering a platform where authenticity and connection are at the forefront. My goal is to bring a fresh, empathetic perspective that resonates with our diverse audience.

I am dedicated to upholding the values that make CCX Media a trusted source of local news and stories. Ultimately, I am motivated by a vision of a thriving, informed community. Through CCX Media, I hope to continue building bridges and fostering a culture of inclusivity, transparency, and empowerment. My goal is simple yet profound: to contribute meaningfully to the legacy of CCX Media, ensuring that it remains a pillar of positivity and progress within our community.
