K.W.O.E.: Nelson Mandela and Social Justice Spoken Word Performance
Be sure to join us for a live social justice and Nelson Mandela-inspired spoken word performance and Q&A with Kareem K.W.O.E. Wells and K.W.O.E Foundation Executive Director Judith Allen. Featured on ESPN and TEDx, and founder of K.W.O.E Group and Foundation, Wells is a burgeoning entrepreneur, recording artist, and emphatic motivational speaker who has devoted his time to spreading messages of hope and peace that inspire youth and forge bonds within multiple communities. His performance will be focused on the four centerpieces of his rising movement in Chicago and how they relate to Nelson Mandela and social justice as a whole: “Know your genius. Work to be unstoppable. Own your actions. Explore the world.”
