Our Philosophy
Your story matters. Your voice matters.
Find your voice.
Finding your voice takes practice, confidence and someone willing to listen. In the story it happens in a rehearsal room, over months, with a teacher who pays attention.
Rise up.
Keep learning. Keep going. Where you start is not where you finish, and the work you put in is what carries you.
Pass it on.
Somebody helped you. At some point it is your turn to be that person for somebody else. That is where the story is really headed.
What the story carries forward
Creativity
Making something of your own and getting better because you keep at it.
Mentorship
One adult who takes a young person seriously can change the shape of everything that follows.
Friendship
Three girls who make each other braver, funnier, and impossible to discourage.
Community
A block, a church hall, a bodega on the corner. Places where people notice each other.
Inspiring minds.
Elevating voices.
Changing futures.
