How and why we are we MISUNDERSTOOD?
What does it mean and how does it feel to be MISUNDERSTOOD?

Our videos explore issues of identity, stereotypes, music, education, access, and teen depression.

Our cabarets feature local artists from the community!

If you’re a performer, or know of someone locally, we'd love to have you be a part of our cabaret! Poetry, music, dance, anything we'd love to hear what you have to say! The theme is based around what it means to be "misunderstood."

To get involved in the cabaret or to find out more about Video Vanguards contact: Program Coordinator Sasha Alexander : sasha@youthactioncoalition.org, 856.906.5968 or Noalanii Karakashian : noaniik@gmail.com if you are interested in performing at the cabaret.
