🎥✨ What an unforgettable night at the red-carpet premiere of Narratives Rewritten at the Queens Theatre! We celebrated the incredible work of our Crisis Management System (CMS) teams and their commitment to keeping NYC’s youth safe. This powerful documentary, in partnership with filmmaker Zachary Kiesch, dives deep into the lives of the dedicated violence interrupters and community leaders who are true change-makers in our neighborhoods. 🕊️💪 As we honor National Crime Prevention Month, it’s crucial to shine a light on the people who are transforming lives and shifting the narrative around violence. A big thank you to all the panelists for sharing their insights and experiences! Your dedication and commitment inspire us all. 🙌 Let’s keep building safer communities together. 💖 #NarrativesRewritten #DYCD #CrisisManagement #SafeStreets #CommunityLeaders #NationalCrimePreventionMonth #PeaceBuilders #NYCYouth

This past spring, ten youth enrolled in DYCD programs took on a 10-week music production journey at the prestigious Lounge Studios NY in Manhattan. 🎤✨ Guided by Grammy-winning producer Mikaelin ‘Blue’ BlueSpruce and talented artists Liana Banks and J. Period, they mastered the art of songwriting, recording, and mixing—creating an EP that reflects their real-life experiences growing up in NYC. 🌆🎧 To top it all off, they saw their hard work come to life in Dolby Atmos Surround Sound, and created music videos and album art that truly represent their voices. 🔥 Video by: 11thfloorfilms #NYCYouth #DYCD #NextGenArtists #YouthVoices #LoungeStudios
