“From the first time I watched the film Our Words Collide, I knew I wanted to be a part of this project,” Dawson said. “It was so inspiring seeing the journey unfold for these five exceptional poets, knowing the challenges that so many young people are facing today with mental health, identity and expression, and finding your place in the world. I felt a sense of excitement knowing that the next generation have such a powerful voice and are ready to share it.”
