If you’ve ever heard of ACT-SO, boy are you in for a treat!  This NAACP youth achievement program allows high school students of African descent to develop their areas of interest and then showcase their talents through projects and performances. This year’s Region Two Virtual Competition produced several local winners who went on to ‘blow the competition away’ on the national level!  Our Lisa Godley caught up with several of those talented teens who are the epitome of artistic excellence!  Lisa’s piece was co-produced by our intern Brianna Walton, who is a rising senior at North Carolina A&T.
