Project By
Connected as Reba Elliott
Lifting Voices teaches critical thinking through writing workshops to 200 kids per year. We facilitate 22 workshops per week in under-served communities of Washington, DC, reaching kids through after-school programs, a domestic violence shelter, and a youth court program of the DC Superior Court. Our work has been recognized with a ChangeMaker Award from Ashoka.
My name is Reba Elliott, and I am the executive director of Lifting Voices. I founded Lifting Voices as an answer to a call to service. I spent about 10 years of my life in violence, lived out of my car for a while, spent time as an intravenous drug addict . . . you get the picture. My life had hope because I valued myself and was valued by the people around me.
So I’m telling you about this book because I know there is something good in it.
