Stone Although Gold

by Nathalie Gonzalez

I am but a stone
A stone with not so much as a glance looking my way

Nothing compared to diamonds, nor gold
Simply dull

I fear that I will be judged for all eternity
without once being known and looking like coal

For once I would like to be seen as any other soul:
Beautiful, Becoming, and Bold

This 1-minute video lets you share and explain to your friends and family how POPS the Club cultivates an inclusive space for youth who have been stigmatized and silenced by their experiences with the carceral system. Our clubs build positive self-identity through peer and adult support and understanding fostered by shared experiences. We empower students to achieve their full potential by creating a loving community and encouraging self-expression. — Tracy Harper
