Outside the Frame

📰 Honored to be featured by Willamette Week

This story highlights the incredible young people behind No Ceilings, an original song and animated music video created through workshops at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility.

As someone formerly incarcerated as both a youth and an adult, this work is deeply personal to me. It’s proof that when we invest in young people, they can transform pain into purpose.

Join us on Saturday, July 11 as we premiere No Ceilings and celebrate these youth voices. I’ll be performing alongside Mic Crenshaw , Libretto , Kap-One Kapone, Tvbby, and more, with a live cypher led by Swiggle Mandela & Machado Mijiga & Santiago LaRochelle

🎟️ Help us fill the theater and support these young people. Purchase tickets through my Linktree.

If you can’t make it, sharing this post is another way to help amplify these youth voices. ❤️

We couldn't resist sharing another round of applause for Haven Wheelock and her award by Outside the Frame at its "We Could Be Heroes" event Thursday, celebrating 10 years of innovative filmmaking by youth who also often participate with Outside In programs. "It is such an honor that they are shouting me out on the anniversary of a decade of great work!" Haven said. OTF Executive Director Nili Yosha welcomed the nearly 400 people packing Hollywood Theatre, and OTF Board President John Duke, a former OI clinic director, presented the harm reduction superhero award. Congratulations, Haven, for continuing to conduct, and inspire, lifesaving work!
