The Writers in the Schools (WITS) youth poetry team Meta4 won the championship at the International Brave New Voices (BNV) Slam in San Francisco. Alinda “Adam” Mac, Isabella Diaz-Mira, Myaan Sonenshein, Samiyah Green, Ariana Lee, Emanuelee “Outspoken” Bean, and Kylan Denney (pictured, from left) took home the national title in a first-time win for the city of Houston. For the last 40 years, WITS has worked with Houston’s children to nurture a love of reading and writing. The Meta4 Houston team presented poems on topics including women’s health, the refugee crisis, the human condition, and race relations, and established themselves as leaders in youth poetry.
