Ashley here-All of our Truth Tellers absolutely rocked the stage/room/mic today 🎤

Today, all of our hard work shined through as we performed “Honesty: Even When It’s Hard” for the DCF Springfield Area Office!! We love being in spaces with people who have the power to change lives, to feel supported and heard by one another. We are thankful for what we do and allowing the voices of our youth, peers and elders to be heard and felt. Thank you to everyone who came to see us in actions 🫶

Tomorrow, let’s break a leg 🎭🦵🎭

We have our 11am show at The Divine Theater!! Message us for more details, see you all tomorrow ✨
