As GEM HERSTORY Month continues, we celebrate a visionary African American woman whose dedication to empowering youth through the arts has left an indelible mark on GEM CULTURE - Nyame Nti Nsibienakou Fawohodie. As one of our first Guest GEM Mentors and a steadfast supporter, Nyame has been instrumental in shaping the culture and nurturing the growth of our GEMS.
When Nyame joined us as a Guest GEM Mentor, she brought a unique and transformative experience to our GEMS. Through a theatrical anti-bullying hands-on activity, she taught the girls the importance of recognizing bullying and equipped them with the skills to handle such situations through real-time acting. This session was not only educational but also empowering, leaving a lasting impact on our GEMS.
Nyame's commitment to youth empowerment extends beyond her involvement with GEM CULTURE. As the founder of Cherades Youth Theater Project Inc., she has created a platform for young people to express themselves creatively and develop essential life skills. At Cherades, the focus is on individuality, with customized curriculums tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each participant. This approach ensures that every young person has a personalized and impactful experience.
The work of Cherades has had a profound effect on the communities it serves, fostering a sense of belonging, pride, and purpose among young people. Through theater arts, storytelling, and mentorship, Cherades has become a catalyst for positive social change, inspiring young people to become advocates for themselves and their communities.
As Cherades looks to expand its reach and operate on a national scale, Nyame Nti Nsibienakou Fawohodie's vision for the future is clear - a world where every young person has access to high-quality arts education and mentorship. With a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and collaboration, Cherades is poised to empower the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
GEM CULTURE is honored to call Nyame Nti Nsibienakou Fawohodie and Cherades YTP a sister organization and a true champion of our culture. We salute her for embodying the spirit of sisterhood, empowerment, and radical acceptance, and for her unwavering dedication to uplifting youth through the arts.
