I am a 10th grader at Hansberry College Prep (I will be a junior in the fall of 2021) who enjoys most of his time doing hair, drawing, and having fun with friends. I was on the swim team at Hayes Park for 3 years and I am best at backstroke. I love engaging with other people because I am very talkative, hence my involvement with the YPRPT documentary.

Editor

I am a 12th grade student at Hansberry College Prep. I’m here because I enjoy documentaries and being able to share my thoughts/creativity. I also enjoy listening to others' creative thoughts because sometimes we feed off of each other which is why I signed up for YPRPT.
