"If you build the table right we can all have a seat at the table."

Genevieve Leighton-Armah is the Academy Coordinator at BayCat Academy. BAYCAT ACADEMY is an internationally-acclaimed school that provides free digital media education to underserved youth and young adults in San Francisco.

In this weeks episode I chatted with Genevieve and discussed how BAYCAT and other programs provide support to the youth and young adults within the creative community. We also touched on what it means to support your friends, and the importance of implementing self-care. Tune in to hear more about how she hopes to take a non-traditional approach to the criminal justice system by implementing art and diversion programs as a Juvenile Judge.  Also learn how she is personally supporting her innovative friends that created Women Sound Off.
