Ages 13 to 17, from Torrance to Watts, from Compton to Long Beach, these seven youth cried and laughed, listened and shared, wrote and performed, came together against all odds to endure eight long weeks of introspection, connection of the self to our greater communities and struggles, and personal transformation as more conscious, mindful writers and people.
We are proud to announce the culmination of their efforts:

Please join us in an evening of spoken word, music, and poetry to celebrate the voices, not only of the future, but of today – our youth.
Our Word is Our Weapon (OWOW), a youth leadership and writing project of One Imagination, exists as a hate-free, anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, safe space for young people to create, grow, change, cultivate, reflect, and transform through art as critical and conscious expression. OWOW exists at the intersection of art and activism, individual growth and community empowerment. For more information, contact One Imagination at oneimagination@gmail.com.
