The spoken word performance group The Diatribe presents an original spoken word composition and reading by Sprout, a Diatribe member.

The Diatribe uses performing arts to empower young people to share their stories, raise awareness of social issues, and create change within their communities. Led by a group of nontraditional teaching artists, the Diatribe facilitates after-school programs, assemblies, and creative writing workshops rooted in poetry. The Diatribe empowers students to tackle large societal issues such as fair housing practices, toxic masculinity, and racism while also providing the students the space to have conversations on issues confronting our society.
