Creating CONTENT

URBAN ARTIVIST ACADEMY prepares young artists to passionately and authentically convey stories that foster our collective ability to acknowledge, learn from and honor our shared experiences. We cultivate cultural sensitivity in young actors and writers committed to utilizing film and television media as a platform for social justice.

We encourage young actors and writers to create ART that ELEVATES the conversation on race, equity and inclusion.
