We’re living in a time when too many teens—especially Black and queer youth—feel disconnected, unsafe, and unseen. Young people today are navigating a complicated world—from the constant noise of the digital age to political shifts that directly impact their lives. I need your help for Be Loud to meet this moment by creating safe spaces where youth can speak up about all they are taking in. Next month, Be Loud is taking 4 DJs to the capitol to amplify the voices of youth activists across our city. That’s what it means to meet this moment, and they need your help to do that throughout the summer. I’m supporting them this GiveNOLA Day, and I’d love for you to join me.
