Description: Artwork and books blending storytelling, culture, and social-conscious expression
The Voice of the Youth is a creative platform that merges art, music, storytelling, and poetry to uplift real youth voices and lived experiences. The centerpiece is a nine-book series, with each book designed in its own unique artistic style—reflecting diverse perspectives on education, mental health, resilience, and community healing.
In each book, every sentence or two is paired with a piece of artwork, transforming words into visual emotion and allowing readers to experience the story through both language and imagery. The series is grounded in real-life testimony and research, weaving together narrative poetry, illustration, and truth-telling. Each piece becomes both a mirror for reflection and a tool for education, inspiring dialogue between youth, educators, and mental health professionals.
The Voice of the Youth bridges creativity and consciousness—turning stories into art, and art into advocacy.
Single artist (Andre Rochester has begun to connect me to various resources).
