Who We Are.My Heart Speaks is a creative writing platform used to encourage, cultivate and steward a new generation of writers and artists. We empower them to use their gifts to bring forth awareness and garner resources for various causes plaguing our communities, such as poverty, drug abuse, domestic violence and youth homelessness.
We utilize the Arts and "Spoken Word' in particular, to share our testimonies. Imparting the importance of storytelling for both educational purposes and even fun. Most importantly, to bring forth resolution and healing for the many internal struggles that we may have battled in the past or still struggle with today. Since 2010 we have collaborated with various nonprofit organizations, shelters, residential programs, schools and ministries throughout Southern New Jersey, Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Together we facilitate youth workshops, create performance showcases, forums, events and much more. It is our belief that bringing awareness helps to shift some of the stigmas, creating a more compassionate perspective and united community. |
