Hello to our new friends 🧡 💙

👋🏾We are Heard Em Say Youth Arts Collective, where we give teens the tools and platform for creative expression.

Every day, we are on a mission to help grow with our teens in thier talents and gifts and would love if you joined in.

A simple, like, share, or comment goes a long way. And if you can show up, sing, clap, and dance with us, that's just the cherry on top. 🍒

No matter where you sit with support, we are glad you are here.

Hope you enjoyed this teens voice on the mic. Many more to come! 🤏🏽

I know you're waiting for that anniversary show recap.

It's coming, but super important announcement first. Let's keep the momentum going with our teens. Last week you saw them perform, but those performances only get better when they come to workshops like WTLB and it's right around the corner.

4 key goals:
Knowledge
Practice
Confidence
Advocacy

This is a part of our free programming that we provide to teens across the Tampa Bay Area.

Send this to a teen who's interested in creating writing, arts, leadership development, and culture.

Shoutout to Baley's Catering for being our local food vendor!
