Americans Who Tell the Truth (AWTT) believes in the power of art and story to motivate people into action. Our Speaking Truth to Youth short video series offers youth and adults the opportunity to hear directly from AWTT portrait subjects – what led them to become activists, what guides them, where they find hope and courage, and what advice they have for young people today. AWTT’s living portrait subjects share the essence of who they are and what feeds their souls. They say it best: “have a soft heart and tough skin,” “open your eyes, be astonished, do something,” “know the difference between right and wrong and act accordingly,” “love is what we need to create the world we want to inhabit.” Listen to the spoken words of Truth Tellers as we bring these portraits to life.
