EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH ENTERTAINMENT

As a youth-centric organization, we believe the future rests with engaged, driven, and empowered youth. We also believe that ‘story’ and storytelling are the inspirational means for shaping our future.

Our vision is to equip and empower vulnerable youth to be the next-gen powerhouses of the creative economy.
