What does it mean to give young people, especially from marginalized communities, the platform to tell their own stories rather than having them narrated through the lens of others? Giving today’s youth the platform and pipeline to share powerful stories of resilience, identity, and social justice, reflecting their lived experiences and challenges in ways that defy stereotypes, empowers them as active storytellers. By shifting the narrative to one rooted in authenticity, fostering a more inclusive, accurate, and dynamic representation of youth creates an opportunity for connection and understanding.
