A group of young people is working hard to flip the script in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood often criticized as being a bad part of San Francisco.
They're a part of organization 826 Valencia at 180 Golden Gate Avenue in the Tenderloin, where young people from all over the Bay Area come to learn to tell their stories for podcasting, writing, and public speaking purposes with the hopes of becoming published authors. Quran Samad is a part of the program's Black Student's Initiative, led by teacher Precediha Dangerfield. Dangerfield told our news team her students are"worthy of every resource.
"I think I've got it in me," she said as she penned her essay, titled"It's expensive to be poor." Samad, like the other students, was assigned to write about social justice, and prepared her essay about what she feels like when she sees her mother get bills in the mail.
