    About the session:
    Are you interested in helping underserved youth in your local community? If so, this session is for you! During this session, I share my journey developing a book club for local incarcerated youth impacted by gangs and gang violence. The session will highlight creative lesson planning via incorporating art, graphic novels, creative writing, and transformative group discussions to engage youth of all ages and reading levels. In addition, I share lessons I've learned along the way.
