About Latrice Distinctly Unique Young

I am a story-driven educator, award-winning artist, and program leader with over ten years of W-2 and self-employed experience, seeking to bring my creativity, leadership, facilitation, and strategic skillset to the right project and organization. I am passionate about curating programs that foster self-expression and cultural connection while managing complex projects across arts education, clinical role-playing, and nonprofit leadership. My adaptability, analytical approach, attention to detail, and charismatic leadership allow me to effectively engage with and support individuals in various settings. I thrive in environments that require customer service, collaborating with others, dedicating time to independent work, meeting organizational goals, and delivering timely and measurable results through storytelling, mentorship, and multi-disciplinary strategic planning. Those who have worked with me might say,\"Ms. Latrice is a compassionate, BOLD, community-centered artist, educator, and leader who shows grace under pressure, masters new skills quickly and is great at balancing work and play. Her innovative, problem-solving, and perseverant mindset makes her stand out.

I encourage and celebrate individual and collective narratives in order to shine the light radiating deep inside of me and others. I facilitate brave spaces rooted in originality, inclusivity, curiosity, discovery, and D-I-Y artistry. I am proud to use my storytelling gifts to serve the world as an equitable, creative conduit for diverse voices to cry, sigh, and fly!Using art, culture, and education, I help connect the world and celebrate our differences. Oftentimes, choreopoems are my way of doing this but I do not limit myself to any form. I find multiple ways to tell and immerse myself in the stories I want and need to experience (e.g, playwriting, spoken word, dance, song, choreopoetry, theatre, movement, music, etc.).
