Founded in San Francisco in 1996, Youth Speaks is at the forefront of a national Spoken Word performance, education, and youth development movement. In over 40 cities, more than 250,000 young writers 13 to 24 years old are speaking their own messages through this powerful medium to millions of their urban and suburban peers. Politically aware, critically engaged, and unafraid to speak, young people are picking up the pen and grabbing hold of the microphone, moving themselves into positions of power claiming voice when theyve been voiceless, and access where theyve been sidelined.
The SF Youth Commission wants you invite you to come to a FREE Youth Concert called Youth Fest. The event will be held on the 18th of July (Saturday) at Civic Center Plaza, 355 McAllister From 12:00pm to 6:00pm.

Mother of Nine Who would know by just looking at her? She is a pillar of strength! Who but God could have created her? She is heaven sent!
Special in her own way Courageous and brave Mother of nine Mother of mine
Her smile is a dose of delight Giving most of her life Never concerned with herself She always puts her kids first She is an angel roaming the earth
I never want to see her cry Like the day she was told that her oldest son would die Or the many times she was called with bad news No one wants to give her bad news
Who but a mother to know? But no matter the circumstance, She rose to her feet Like a shepherd leading her sheep
Her smile is a dose of delight Giving most of her life Never concerned with herself Always put her kids first She is an angel roaming the earth
So I live to give back to you Everything you deserve and more That house that you want is yours! With a garden bigger than Eden, Gifts piled up to the ceiling! Every precious stone on earth Could not measure your worth
Her smile is a dose of delight Giving most of her life Never concerned with herself Always puts her kids first She is an angel roaming the earth!
