My mission is to engage youth and raise a worldwide discussion regarding this planet, brainstorming solutions alongside other young minds; to facilitate conversations
stimulating those capable of changing the world, and create a platform where youth can talk about real issues and solutions regarding our everyday lives. I felt there was a hole in conscious media, a space that REAL will fill, activating the voices of the next-generation to create tangible change.
Thank you for joining this movement with me, I'm so excited to see what we will create together, on one collective platform.

Benjamin is a caring brother, engaging musician, and dedicated student who has recently begun his own journey of self-actualization and core development. At any given time he can be found scaling mountains of homework, spending time with his family, composing new pieces at the piano, contemplating important aspects of life, or furiously practicing the mad art of "writing." He is proud of his thoughts, and he understands that his highest calling is to give back to the world in some form or fashion.

Through my growth of being a writer, I’ve found that I have been able to express and mend my own heart. I feel especially close to poetry because it has helped me find my voice and strengthen it. When I’m not playing with words, I’m either making a piece of art or studying the bugs underneath your feet.
