The Board’s Mission

The Board is a collective of young adults working together to cultivate momentum throughout the city to provide our citizens, young and old, with equal opportunity to education, self expression and personal development in a positive space. Guiding our work is love, inclusion, appreciation and continuation of lineage, art and growth. We come from all walks of life and have a dedication to leadership, fellowship and sharing our testimony to help following generations and the future of our people. We plan to achieve this using mentorship, professional training, events, partnership, outreach and a commitment to health and wellness of our minds, bodies, and souls.

Its that time again!! Brave New Voices International Teen Poetry Slam is where I got my start and I’ve tried to be involved ever since. Moving on from being a youth champion myself into one of the youngest teaching artist around I will be with them in LA this year!!! Above is a clip Ms. Iyoka, who I had the chance to host with last year posted. Check it out.

This year I’ve been invited to be Future Corps, a group selected to help lead the youth through activities of the week. All of us chosen, were once slammers and now amazing leaders in the field. I am so excited to see over 500 fly kids get together for top of the line spoken word competition, all night ciphers, and pure genius.  These kids are full of passion and innovation so I cant wait to see what they have to say this year. I will be leading them in workshops as well as hosting their bouts so I will be blessed to hear them. Cant wait.
