Hi there! I'm Shawon, and I'm passionate about helping young people tap into the power of their voice. If I'm not somewhere teaching public speaking and leadership, I'm probably somewhere dancing - hip-hop, bachata, and merengue are my favorites.
“I believe that youth, particularly those who have been historically overlooked and underserved, have incredible ideas about how to change the world - because they have seen and felt firsthand how the status quo does not work for them and their communities. I'm excited to help youth harness the power of their voice and feel more confident speaking up about the issues that matter most to them. The world needs to hear what they have to say.” - Shawon
