Huge s/o to #BeHeard17 Cohort members Katt & Asher for repping MN at the National Book Festival in DC in the Library of Congress youth poetry slam! They're getting ready in the right way with coach Kyra at one of our favorite spots: @busboysandpoets 😋 #Power #Youth #Voice
Good morning good people! We would just like to take a moment to honor the #BeHeard17 co-coaches, Khary Jackson and Kyra Calvert. With the safety, artistic and professional development at the core of their every move, writing prompt, question and instruction, these two brilliant and generous artists lead a team of Minnesota teens through a journey of self discovery as part of the 20th annual Brave New Voices youth poetry slam festival. They deserve an applause y’all. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you!
Thank you to @bravenewvoices for providing a platform for #BeHeard17 and The 500+ youth attending #BNV2017! It has been an honor to witness, participate and experience this festival! (at Berkeley, California)
