Coming Up For Air: Reflections from the Teenage Mind

By 826 Boston Students

Members of 826 Boston's Youth Literary Advisory Board share their experiences, reflections, and hopes as an invitation into the teenage mind.

"We are from a generation that notoriously refuses to step down or be silent. In many communities, youth are believed to have a certain wisdom and vitality that is often overlooked or quelled in spaces dictated by those who hold and seek to retain power. We have continuously seen youth taking charge, especially the artists and writers. We are here to construct the futures we wish to animate. One day we will inhabit them."

-Kinsale Drake, poet and founder of NDN Girls Book Club
