WordSpeak, a Tigertail project for teens, includes workshops and performances led by nationally recognized writers who come to Miami for weeklong residencies. Each residency culminates in a slam event, from which are selected team members who then travel to the BNV competition.This year it will take place in Washington D.C.
2016 team members are: Stephanie Casio and Sophya Giudici-Juarez from Miami Arts Charter, Destine Harrison-Williams from North Miami Senior, Dylan Somerville Hall from Miami Beach Senior and Nija Maxwell and Andrew Ruby from Miami Norland Senior. Returning team member Momo Manalang just returned from a Global Citizen Year in India. Nija Maxwell and Andrew Ruby worked under Norland’s Creative Writing teacher Precious Symonette, recently named the Miami-Dade Teacher of the Year.
