From 2010 - 2011 I was the Festival Coordinator at Wide Angle Youth Media. I worked with the Youth Media Festival Committee, a group of high school youth who create, plan, and organize the Who Are You? Youth Media Festival, a month long celebration, which includes art-making workshops, exhibitions, and public events that express the voices of Baltimore City youth.
The 6th Annual Youth Media Festival featured the art of over 300 Baltimore youth. It included a poetry slam, performance day and visual arts exhibition. Leading up to the festival I presented to over 300 Baltimore City youth, facilitated art-making workshops and led several poetry programs.

The committee met once a week, created art, juried festival submissions, took field trips, planned performance day and more!
