@offpageproject

The Off/Page Project combines the groundbreaking storytelling of Youth Speaks with the analytical lens of The Center for Investigative Reporting. Living at the intersection of youth voice and civic engagement, the Off/Page Project provides a multimedia platform for young people to investigate the issues and stories that would otherwise be silenced. An unprecedented collaboration between poets and investigative journalists, the Off/Page Project is a nexus point for poets to report their stories and push the boundaries of 21st century American storytelling. Whether the facts are found in CIR’s reporting or the primary text of Youth Speaks’ poets, the story is yours to tell.

Everyday the news cycle churns out story after story that build on a false interpretation of America. They use facts from on the present without following their direct line to the past. Every time a story is told without context it adds to the growing chorus of misunderstanding.

I think being an artist, you are in the business of telling it like it is. You create of the world you live in, unapologetically. What that means is you aren't catering to an eye or group or specific niche so much as your own truth as you see fit.
