Me, Mercy by Mercy Jean-Baptiste

From youth poet, Mercy Jean-Baptiste, comes his debut chapbook collection of poems, Perseverance. This book of poetry was crafted during the Youth Writers Camp.

Through the things they discovered about themselves, the lessons about mental health, and the coping techniques they garnered during this time, it is our job as a community to continue to cultivate it and empower them to shift their own realities into the best versions designed for them. Our hope is that these students feel loved, cared for, and equipped enough to continue to heal and process with healthy coping tools and creative avenues. Thank you for investing into this student, one poem at a time.
