Inspiration—a topic each student approached with a unique blend of creativity and emotion. KHORI uses the vision of the Khori she wants to be years from now. Inspiration.. something that we all want, something that we all need. In my life I've been inspired by many things, but my biggest inspirations are my mom, my best friend ,and the most important inspiration is my future.  My mom inspires me so much and she doesn’t even realize it. She shows great resilience and compassion.  My mom grew up very poor in the city. She never had time for herself because her mom was always working and she had to take care of her brother. On top of all the struggles she faced, she still was able to get into Western and go to college. She maintained good grades and she was just overall a really smart person . Then she faced another really hard obstacle, which was me!  My mom had me in college and she didn’t know what to do. On top of having a baby she was able to still go to college and get a job. She ended up saving her money and moving to the county where she was able to raise me and take care of me. It’s really just me and my mom since my dad and other siblings don’t live with me. Whenever I need something, I turn to her. I may argue with her and disagree with her a lot but that will never change the fact that I love her...

Inspiration—a topic each student approached with a unique blend of creativity and emotion. JORDAN finds it in a heavy metal drummer with a big heart. I’m inspired by a lot of things. I connect with the way lines are drawn on a piece of paper, the feeling of anger or sadness from colors on a painting, and the weight of a clay sculpture. In the past year, there’s been one person that inspired me the most. His name is Joey Jordison and he used to be the drummer for Slipknot. Since I grew up as Christian, I used to think that something bad would happen to me if I started listening to metal music, like I wouldn’t go to heaven in the afterlife. I was scared of metal because I was taught that it was evil. I was scrolling through the internet one day and I found this show on Netflix. It’s called Aggretsuko and it’s about a red panda named Retsuko who has an average office job in Japan. People in higher positions treat her like she doesn’t know anything and insult her at work. Some of her co-workers constantly annoy her by giving backhanded compliments or invading her personal space. She gets rid of her stress by venting through death metal at a karaoke bar. Watching a few minutes of the show made me pause for a moment. I could relate to this character because she bottles up her emotions and acts as a doormat for other people at her job. I started watching the show...

Inspiration—a topic each student approached with a unique blend of creativity and emotion.  LYRIC experiences it through the portals of the cartoon & movie multiverse. Cartoon creators, voice actors, and movie actors really inspire me. I have always wanted to do voices of cartoon characters and act in shows and movies. I feel very inspired by how creative people can be when they make cartoons and movies. I want to be like them some day, creating cartoons, doing voice acting, and being a movie actor.  I am specifically inspired by Disney and Nickelodeon voice actors. I want to be a Nickelodeon voice actor doing different voices from different cartoons, this is a dream job that I would never get tired of because I'm doing the things I love the most. But let's stop talking about reality inspiration and get fictional.  There I am in the cartoon and movie multiverse going through portal by portal, meeting the characters of cartoons and movie actors that inspire me the most. I ended up in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movie where I see the character I've been waiting to meet for decades. there he was! Drax, the one and only! He saw me and came up to me saying “What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be in space.” I told him the backstory of me being a multiverse traveler, how he inspired me to be an actor, and how cool it was when he used to be in the WWE before he retired. I had a good time...

We welcomed our friend Greeyo aka Antwan Hawkins and his crew from LaRae Amoor Universe studio - A.S.E. aka Kevin, Groovy aka Jordan, Cole and Rob the Reaper for a Conversation. This was a very lively and wide ranging discussion sharing life stories, goals, music and media interests and much more. The Conversation was followed by a tour of our facility led by several students. This relationship has been growing since the Fall when we visited them at their studio for a music session, tour and conversation. We are exploring ways of working even more closely together going forward. We are thankful for the wisdom, encouragement and energy that all the folks at LaRae Amoor Universe brought into our building! https://laraeamoor.com/...

The amazing folks from Berman McAleer were back again today for their monthly Financial Literacy seminar.  Today's lesson was all about evaluating and understanding different kinds of debt. The students worked in groups to discuss various debt scenarios that were presented to them and then had to label each one as "good debt", "bad debt" or "risky debt". After pronouncing their answer to the class, the groups had to defend and discuss how they reached their conclusion. They consider scenarios having to do with car and home purchases, payday loans and more. It was a very lively session and the learning will resonate as the students face these real life decisions.   Our thanks to series coordinator Kathleen Gower along with Adaiha Montgomery and Geneveive Criscera and all the folks at Berman McAleer for this eye opening seminar and the delicious lunch....

Having just returned from his continuing spot on The Today Show where he is the Tech and Lifestyle expert, Mario Armstrong was back at the school. Mr. Mario challenged the students the last time he was here to come up with a concise but solid introduction of themselves that they could deliver extemporaneously. As each student did an introduction, he gave advice on content, body language and voice. It was a terrific lesson in personal confidence and communication. Following that part of his visit, was a more conventional, but just as interesting, conversation with him where the students asking questions about his life and career. We are excited that he will be back for a regular seminar each semester next year. Thank you Mario Armstrong for sharing and bringing your considerable talents into the school....

We continue to build our relationship with the B4YT youth organization in Liberia, West Africa. Yesterday we viewed a film of their young people answering questions we sent about the government in Liberia. Today we filmed a video answering questions from the Liberian youth about government and politics in the United States. They were curious about the impact of the change of U.S. Presidents and how young people get involved in issues. Each of our students reviewed the presubmitted questions so they were prepared when we filmed a video of their responses to share with B4YT. We have settled on this format of sending videos back and forth because it is difficult to establish a good live video stream where we can talk together at the same time. Janiah represents TCS and works with Jalen from B4YT to coordinate the relationship and handle all of the technical needs. We alternate sending videos back and forth on the same topic with questions from each group and in between, each of us sends a reaction and followup video. We deeply appreciate the commitment of the youth and staff at B4YT to building this international relationship across the Atlantic. https://www.b4youththeatre.org/...
