Take My Word For It was a series of spoken word workshops with youth resulting in the creation of a CD and community CD release event. Working with Ronnie Harris of Ostwelve, an established spoken word artist, youth at four identified sites (Strathcona CC., RayCam, Hastings CC and Britannia/VPL) were mentored in the art of spoken word and in building a “voice” to comment on issues affecting their lives.
