“Senior year of high school I was introduced to Phonetic Spit and it changed everything for me. Going into senior year I was lost, I had no community, and couldn't find one. Coming from the foster care system and an abusive household I had been taught I'd never amount to anything. Once I met the teaching artists from Phonetic Spit that thought process changed. For the first time in my life I had a chance to be something, because Phonetic Spit taught me I always have been something, been someone.” – Sam Brown, Student Participant
