Leticia Urieta and Xochitl Gonzalez discuss ABC’s mission that empowers the youth by providing platforms to reclaim their voices. The organization emphasizes the importance of validating student expression and ensuring their stories are recognized as valuable, mature, and authentic contributions. Through summer camps, mobile programs, and school programs, this helps students feel safe, seen, and capable of full self-expression. Creating space for the youth is not just enriching, but essential. As shared by Leticia and Xochitl, young people deserve autonomy, imagination, and the freedom to express their inner lives.
