As the next hosting state, ATLANTA GA was requested repeatedly to be featured on Final stage. This was the first time EVER atl touched final stage since their start in 2009! It was such a surreal feeling, words cannot describe the adrenaline rush you go through on stage! 

Top: Group members and our "recieve it, yaaasssss."

Middle Left: Last practice run before going on stage

Middle Right: Atlanta, Ga performing on final stage for the first time ever!!!!!!

Bottom: Getting into my zone before performing "Public Trans," an amazing piece inspired by two transgender women fighting for the right to be themselves. Thank you ladies, we cannot formulate anything to say but how thankful we are for women as brave as yourselves. 

Brave New Voices 2015 is going to be INSANE! #Day4 #FinalStage #BraveNewVoices2014

This is when I was being interviewed about the teenage high school drop out rate and my thoughts on the influences surrounding the issue. It was crazy that they specifically sought me out (texted my coach and mentors asking for me) to interview me! They also liked the poem I did which was just more good news! I was very blessed to have the opportunity to speak with my own point of views, thank you HOODSTOCK & Brave New Voices 2014! #Day4

HOODSTOCK was amazing, it was great to get out of UPenn and actually see real parts of Philly! #Day4

This was Quarter-Finals day, unfortunately we missed semi-finals by 0.1 points. Little did anyone know, including us, that this wasn't the last time Brave New Voices 2014 would see Atlanta on stage. #Day3

I loved the pink chairs and my pink jumper pants. What a coincidence. #Day2 of Brave New Voices 2014!

First night of Brave New Voices 2014! Opening Ceremonies!

New New. I have been waiting so long to do this haircut but never had the guts. I did it for Brave New Voices 2014! & I love it so much...for now
