About Me


WORK:
HarlemLIVE is an .. youth new magazine created edited and produced by teens throughout New York City. I’ve been volunteering for this organization since I was 11. It’s an amazing opportunity for youth in the city to fully express themselves, while learning all the aspects of Media and Journalist. HarlemLIVE has shaped me into the individual that I am today. I'm very thankful and I think you if you haven't already...check it out!
The Talking drum is the logo of HarlemLIVE. It symbolizes one of the first sources of communication in Africa. Africans used the talking drums to send messages when played.

Afro Brazil Arts is an organization that I work for teaching and performing Capoeira (brazilian martial arts) to youth k-12 throughout New York. Afro Brazil Arts is another amazing organization because it teaches youth to be powerful using only 3 elements. FOCUS DICIPLINE and RESPECT.
