    This past weekend, VOX Teens hosted #SelfCareSatur This past weekend, VOX Teens hosted #SelfCareSaturday and it was an absolute blast! 🧘‍♀️💆‍♂️

VOX teens took some time out to reflect on self-love and appreciation. They wrote heartfelt letters to themselves, expressing one thing they love about who they are. 💌❤️✨

The energy in the room was truly inspiring! Witnessing our teens embrace self-acceptance and celebrate their unique qualities was a remarkable experience. It’s amazing to see each and every one of you recognizing the love and beauty that resides within yourselves.

Join us for VOX-A-PALOOZA this upcoming Saturday for more #freeyourfeels activities like this🥳🌟💕

    Happy Poetry Month everyone! 📝🎉 As we celeb Happy Poetry Month everyone! 📝🎉

As we celebrate the power of words and the beauty of expression, we couldn't let Poetry Month go by without acknowledging the incredible talent of Atlanta's very own 2021-22 Youth Poet Laureate, Aanika Eragam. She represented the southern region of the United States in the 2023 National Youth Poet Laureate program, and we could not be more proud!

Aanika is an amazing young poet who has already made a significant impact on our community through her powerful words and civic engagement. She is a true inspiration to us all, and we are so fortunate to have her represent Atlanta on the national stage.

Let's continue to celebrate the beauty of uncensored self-expression, and support the next generation of talented poets and writers. This year's Atlanta Youth Poet Laureate commencement takes place at VOX-A-PALOOZA on May 13th. RSVP using the link in our bio!

Congratulations, Aanika! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see what you'll accomplish next.
