HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS VIDEO:

This video, featuring playwright and organizer Donovan Hayden, explores Black Youth Voice.

How might we support the meaningful representation, engagement, inclusion, and belonging of Black youth? What are strategies and processes for authentically centering and amplifying their voices and experiences?

Black Youth Voice is one of the four themes featured in YouthREX’s Call-In-Cards for Anti-Black Racism Action.

The Call-In-Cards centre critical self-reflexivity as the source and impetus to connect understandings of anti-Black racism to anti-Black racism action – at the individual, program, and community levels. The Call-In-Cards are four decks of 16 cards across four themes. Each of the 16 cards features a scenario on one side and four prompts on the other to guide critical self-reflexivity and encourage critical conversations that lead to action.
