Transparent Modeling
In order to create trust and form a bond with any individual or group, you must be transparent! Most often in group settings, people tend to be apprehensive when it comes to sharing, especially hard emotions. Being, the example not only gains trust, but it’s also a critical model of bringing down the walls of insecurity.
Let's Change the World!
Cedric Hameed is a fierce arts advocate and believes that local, national, and global change can be accomplished through expression. Evidence of his philosophy can be seen in the students and parent voices of Visible Men Academy. A native of Schenectady, N.Y, Cedric grew accustomed to using words as an escape from his harsh realities. He never realized it would be the blueprint to creating a life-changing platform. "Poetry saved my life, literally! I see the world in metaphors and similes. And, when you can see in the abstract you can create. I can see the world we can all create!"
