"Young people who have been given access to educational spaces where civic engagement is a learning outcome will, undoubtedly, stand equipped to diagnose injustice. They will be able to...challenge power structure."

#BYOP: Virtual Prom Recap

Recently, as Executive Director of Education Ensemble, my team and I were able to host a national, virtual prom for the class of 2020 amid COVID-19 "safer at home" orders. Education Ensemble partnered with Creative Visions Foundation and IndiMusic TV to make the event happen. With an all-star lineup of DJ's and special guests,  5 hours live, and more than 1,000 viewers throughout the evening, I hope we were able to give students a few hours of fun during, what may be, a rough period of time for families.
