Lost Count: A Love Story

Powerful would be a colossal understatement to describe this performance by 18 year old Nate Marshall & 17 year old Demetrius Amparan featured by Brave New Voices, which depicts the epidemic of teen violence that is crying out for national attention in Chicago.

Brave New Voices was created by Youth Speaks, Inc in 1998 after the inaugural Youth Speaks Teen Poetry Slam in San Francisco—the first poetry slam dedicated to youth in the nation’s history.  Brave new voices can be found at bravenewvoices.org.  See Nov archives for prior blog post on Youth Speaks.
