BLACK LIVES MATTER
“It’s time to change!” This piece was written and performed by yours truly and originally created for the Global Youth Assembly 2006. I also performed this piece and won the 2016 TED SUMMIT Talent Show in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This video is a compilation of the spoken word being performed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (2015/2018) and in Tacloban, Leyte, Philippines (2014).
Now for than ever do I feel like the message of this piece needs to be shared with all of the unrest, division, and injustice happening in our world. I pray for peace, justice, love, and education to fill our hearts and minds during this time. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
