VIDEO:  My Our America Speech in DC
 
 
What an unbelievable experience. The Lincoln Theater was flooded with young people from across the country who were dedicated to making a difference in their communities. It was so inspirational. I hope you enjoy.. Youth Build is a really awesome program and I met a lot of dedicated young leaders!!!

I was looking for this event on tv and online last night. My boyfriend also spoke at this event. I wanted to be there!!! Cheyenne (sorry if I spelled your name wrong), your speech was very powerful. That whole situation is crazy and to experience it at such a young age makes it even harder to deal with. I congratulate you on all of your success and achievement. Keep striving for the best and you will achieve nothing BUT THE BEST! I know all of you were representing!

I dont think that I have ever been to a more powerful event in my life, thanks to all the great leaders that participated in this event, and thanks to MTV for allowing all of us to have a voice in this country. I think that this was definitely needed and it could not have been at a better place than Washington DC. I'm proud of everyone that participated.

that girl good! I'm so proud of you Cheyenne! You not only represent City Year well, but you represent the millions of young minority (should be categorized as majority) youth who might feel like their voices aren't heard. Thanks for being that voice!

I am so glad that you told your story. People need to understand that our children are facing so many situations that are so complex. I am glad to serve along with you as a City Year Corps member. Let people know that anyone can make a difference.
