Presented by the newest Journal 2 Journey cohort, this culminating performance highlights the creative voices of young artists who have transformed their personal narratives into dynamic works of art. Developed in partnership with Hi-ARTS and Urban Word, J2J empowers youth to explore identity, storytelling, and resilience through writing and performance. Join us for an evening of powerful expression, creativity, and the celebration of their journeys.
