A pre-election panel discussion and musical performance by EVRYWHR will explore the power of creativity, young voices, and voting

The event will begin with a musical performance by EVRYWHR, a multi-talented artist who has collaborated with artists like Leona Lewis, Mila J, and Aaron Carter, and who co-wrote two songs for the 2013 Grammy-winning album Gravity, performed by Gospel rapper Lecrae.

Following his performance, EVRYWHR will deliver a special message about his art and activism.

The event will then shift to a panel discussion:

Moderated by Tracie Jones, the director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at HGSE

Featuring:

Dyllón Burnside, an actor and singer known for the FX television show Pose

Josielle Cunningham, Ed.L.D.’16, the chief executive officer of Pathways to Creative Industries

Aysha Upchurch, lecturer at HGSE

"Creativity has often provided fuel for social impact in the United States and globally,” says Cunningham, one of the event organizers. “I'm excited to speak with leaders who are working to ensure that we use our voice and vote in the current election and engage young people in the political process, while honoring the impact that the arts have on our collective consciousness and our ability to dream big."

There will be ample time for questions from the audience during the discussion.

In conjunction with Harvard University’s Common Spaces initiative and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
