HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — After months of hard work and dedication, Meta4 Houston has achieved a remarkable feat!
The youth poetry team clinched the prestigious Brave New Voices International Poetry Slam title for the second consecutive year.
This program combines poetry, spoken word, youth development, and civic engagement, and is supported by Writers in The Schools.
In July, the team traveled to Washington, D.C., to compete, presenting poems on challenging topics such as climate change in Texas, gun violence, fast fashion, the human condition, and the impact of role models.
Congratulations to the talented poets: Bella Kalra, Amaya Newsome, Christina Perez-Ruiz, Mya Skelton, Samiyah Green, and Adriana Winkelmayer!
