was the emcee and at the end of the night 6 young people moved on the be the Bay Area Youth Speaks representaitives at the Brave New Voices event where young people from across the country come together for 4 days of slams. While only 6 will be moving on, all 17 showed up and showed out. They give me hope., And while my body is tired my hart is full. The video of the amazing Abayomi whose voice, both singing and words, move me so deeply. What a gift to be able to support and hold space. I want to thank the Hope Reimagined team that has supported each slam throughout the season
. This is community healing. This is powerful and this is what can shape our future. I also added the full video with much better recording. These young people!!!
