The 2017 DC Youth Poet Laureate: New Videos

It was an honor to put together these two shorts for local DC hip hop non-profit Words, Beats, Life.  The videos are part of the organization's 2017 DC Youth Poet Laureate program. This year's winner is Kenny Carroll of Wilson High School. 

Special thanks to Itzel for help on the shoot, and to Kosi at WBL for coordinating all the logistics.  I've included some behind-the-scenes photos of the film shoot with Kenny at the bottom of the blog post.

This is the poem video.
