 Happy Friday y'all!
I hope everyone is having a great Black History Month so far!
Like I mentioned last week, a big way we're celebrating this month is by uplifting and empowering Black teens through our latest project, "America, As Told By Black Teens." Gen Z is the future so we talked to 13 Black teens from across the country about the issues that are most important to them today.
Jada Adams, 18, from Columbia, South Carolina, taps into optimism and hope to make music and create community that brings her peers a bit more joy. DeMario Brown, 17, of Detroit, wants to start a sports agency but also wants to help others secure housing and better opportunities. And Eden Wilson, 15, from Chicago is a computer science whiz who has dreams of coaching gymnastics at the Special Olympics one day.
These teens are proof that the kids are truly alright, y'all!
That's just a glimpse, but check out the full project below.

 HuffPost talked to several Black teens about the issues that matter to them most. They’re creating their own rules in a society with systems that have failed them time and time again.
