TED Talk with Malika Whitley "How The Arts Help Homeless Youth Heal and Build"

Written by The Blog Team | Apr 12

Malika Whitley is the founder of ChopArt, an organization for homeless teens focused on mentorship, dignity and opportunity through the arts. In this moving, personal talk, she shares her story of homelessness and finding her voice through arts -- and her mission to provide a creative outlet for others who have been pushed to the margins of society.

Malika was the inaugural A3C Action Pitch Competition winner in 2015. We're so proud of the work she's done and the impact she's made. It's an honor to be a part of her story.
