I wish high school students came up with all of the questions for the interviews, panels & events we have participated in! I was blown away by both Grade 9 classes intellect reflected in their nuanced & thought provoking questions. Our classroom visit gave me a lot of hope for the future & reminded me of exactly why it's important to tell our stories & share our art & writing with the world.

Youth needs to be heard. Youth needs rights. Youth needs you.

You helped me get out of my comfort zone by encouraging me to be a poet on a stage with a mic.

I have no words for how many great emotions I have. I have learned more about myself than how I would by myself.

This opportunity was such a gift. In my poem I wrote: use your present as a gift. You definitely helped me do that with this opportunity.

Thank you for teaching me lots of cool things.
