The goal of the Unfiltered Collective is to rehabilitate and reinvigorate our relationship with words and the power of one's story through two primary means:The first is Unfiltered Poetry--By curating creative space for underserved youth, Unfiltered Poetry uses the medium of spoken word and strategic affirmation practices to empower a sense of voice, advocacy, and effective communication. The program partners with college student mentors, high school students, and middle school students to establish a pipeline of access & support, & runs concurrently in Atlanta, GA & Providence, RI. The second is Living Unfiltered--In support of historically marginalized identities (with emphasis on Black women and women of Color), Living Unfiltered is an affirmation-based collective that utilizes faith, workshops, events, resources, and words to empower us to live our most unapologetic, unadulterated, unfiltered, abundant lives.
