The Reality of Our Youthful Journey
A collection of poems written by Samantha, Hendre, and James. Directed by Fatima Gonzalez
This collaboration was inspired by the strong young voices that were discovered in the Washington High School Theater Club. These voices and stories represent the hard reality that the youth in our community in Wyandotte County face.
About our Featured Artists:
Samantha
Samantha is a junior at Washington High School pursuing a future in theater. This is her first experience in writing and she wrote three emotional pieces for this collection that displayed how strong vulnerability can be.
