We'Ced Youth Media spent the summer conducting weekly writing circles with over two dozen pre-teens at Merced's Boys and Girls Club's Summer Camp. For over six weeks the writing circles practiced writing, built relationships and explored identity. As a capstone to the experience, during the last circle the B&GC youth shared of themselves through a poetic writing exercise entitled "I Am From" to create these writing pieces to share with their communities.
When I was writing, I didn't know what I was writing was poetry until one day my mom walked in and took my notebook and started to read it. The next day she said I had a talent, a gift.
