If you’ve ever thought… “Nobody really listens to me.” “I’m not confident enough to lead.” “I’ll step up when I’m ready.” This workshop was made for you. 💙 Young people today are carrying a lot — social pressure, self-doubt, and a world that doesn’t always make space for their voices. Clock It Workshop exists because every young person deserves a space to be seen, heard, and equipped to lead. You don’t need a title. You don’t need to be the loudest in the room. You just need to CLOCK IN. ⏰ This is a safe space to work through self-doubt, fear of judgment, and that voice that says you’re not enough — because you are. You always have been. 📅 May 16th | 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Elle De Lyon Elle de Lyon (EL duh lee-ON) — award-winning poet and spoken word artist rooted in one truth: literacy is liberation. Come for the words. Leave with language to live by. Ages 11–18 | Clocked In – “Owning the Leader You Are” This workshop is in partnership with @Bell @metomoi @afiwi — together ensuring that programs focused on youth development are accessible to every young person who needs them. We are grateful for partners who show up for youth not just in words, but in action. 🖤 Come as you are. Leave knowing who you are. 🖤 Link in bio to register!

Literacy is Liberation. For too long, we were erased from history. Now, I use language to flip the script and reclaim our story. I work with words to build worlds. To reimagine what was stolen. To reclaim what was erased. Words are spells. Thoughts are magic. What you say to yourself shapes your reality. There was a time when they called me a Lion it felt like I was handed a box full of darkness with no instructions Until I learned, this too was a gift. On the page, my name is el-duh-lee-yon. A name I carry because of colonization. Not my ancestral name. That name, I am still uncovering. They called me “the Lion.” Sometimes to shame me. Sometimes to tame me. Rarely to raise me. Until I learned to use it to elevate me. I am the L.Y.O.N. that learned how to write, so they hunter’s story would’nt be the only version told I think like a LYON and use language to exemplify how to lift yourself over negativity with the words. Come for the words. Leave with language to live by. RSVP 🔗 in bio

Happy Solar Return @rise_edt 14 years and still reaching intelligent souls everywhere ✊🏽🎤 🌎 This is a timelapse x8… and it’s not even all the clips 😅 How do I tell the story of R.I.S.E. in one minute? I won’t 😭 I will show you a glimpse of the impact of my life on the R.I.S.E. ⸻ 14 years ago, I was searching for a place to belong. I found it sitting in the crowd. Listening. Witnessing. Finding ways to serve the community. ⸻ 3 lessons I learned: 1. Stop searching. Start serving. That’s when everything shifted. 2. Your story matters. The testimonies I witnessed birthed thoughts and I found my voice. 3. Community changes everything. What started in the crowd became connection and collaboration. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏾 From audience member to director of projects & strategy. I dreamed it. Then real life’d it through serving the R.I.S.E community over the last 14 years 🥹🌱🥳 ⸻ I didn’t just find a stage. I was called to help hold it. To keep it going through funding cuts, pandemics, and global conflicts. 785+ events 3000+ paid opportunities $1.98M invested into artists 30,000 souls reached ⸻ From the seed to the sanctuary. A seed is buried in darkness. But if it is brave, it rises. 🌱 I’m inviting you to come sit in the audience. Get inspired. And change the 🌎 with your story. ⸻ 📅 April 18 ⏰ 6:30 PM doors open 📍@918bathurst 🎉 $15 today only Code: 416BDAY show up for your future self today✨

Heyo neighbors 👋🏾 Field Trip started from a real place. A lot of us are dealing with social isolation… not because we don’t want to connect, but because it’s not always easy to show up and be yourself. So we made this a thing. Our first Field Trip took place at @brightside.world in the beautiful Allan Gardens Conservatory. Headsets on, immersed in sound, exploring together while still being in our own world. A group of us pulled up… and nobody rushed out. We stayed, connected, and even went for dinner after. Real conversations, real people. Big love to @djmetime and @dildhalla for helping us hold the space, be comfortable and explorative! The city needs more of this. Real connection. Real community. If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected… this is for you. See you on the next Field Trip 🤍 Link in bio to find out more !
