Summer Spotlight: Improv for Empowerment with FOR-YOUTH
This summer, I’m excited to join the 2025 FOR-YOUTH Summer Program as an improv workshop facilitator! 🎭
FOR-YOUTH is a transformative community initiative aimed at empowering teens (ages 13–19) through the arts, wellness, and entrepreneurial thinking. I’ll be leading two high-energy improv sessions designed to help young people build confidence, collaboration, and creative expression.
Each session will focus on the foundational tools of improv—saying “Yes, and,” making bold choices, and embracing mistakes as part of the creative process—while also exploring deeper themes like emotional resiliency and storytelling as healing. We'll laugh, play, and discover how improv can be a powerful tool for growth and self-discovery.
Whether we're mirroring emotions, creating on-the-spot scenes, or practicing empathy through play, I’m honored to be part of a program that centers healing, joy, and voice for BIPOC youth.
📍 Dates: Summer 2025
📍 Hosted by: No Easy Props x FOR-YOUTH
