YO! Youth Outlook Magazine Book Review...


YO! Youth Outlook Magazine is an award-winning literary journal of youth life in the Bay Area. Featuring in-depth reporting pieces and first-person essays, comic strips and poetry pages, YO! is the communication outlet for youth who feel their voice and visions need to be seen and heard. YO! is a bridge to the world of youth expression.

YO! chronicles the world through the eyes and voice of young people - between the ages of 14 and 25. From reporting pieces on Palestinian American youth in the Bay Area to interviews with gospel hip hop bands; from photo essays by homeless youth to journal entries from temp workers in Silicon Valley, YO! offers a unique window into California's youth subcultures.

YO! has a national distribution of 25,000 magazines printed monthly (10 times a year through the school season), a local access monthly TV show -- YO!TV, numerous partnerships with local and national radio broadcasts and an annual expo of youth communicators - from graffiti artists to filmmakers to incarcerated youth. YO! stories also run nationally and internationally over the Pacific News Service wire.

Be sure to read the Book Review for my book, No One is Coming to the Rescue, appearing in the next issue of YO!. Thanks again to my good friend Erricka for the write up and all of the support! You are a lovely talented woman. So nice to have seen you today and thanks for the opportunity!
It was fun out there in the middle of nature with the kids, hence my admiration of the trees! LOL
