"The more we increase the active participation and partnership with young people, the better we serve them. … And the more comprehensively we work with them as service partners, the more we increase our public value to the entire community." — Carmen Martinez

This week, I have the pleasure of speaking with my young black brother, Damarc Barlatier, who a fellow alumnus of St. John's University. He is a fellow board member of the St. John's University Black Alumni Association. He is a fellow Haitian American, and he is, more, importantly a fellow activist in this fight for justice. We need to create platforms for our youth to develop and express themselves.

In tonight's episode, Damarc talks to us about an organization and movement he is spearheading called Next Phase of Change (NOPC).
