Clarence Nero is tru­ly unsung hero. Clarence is the founder of the Bay­ou Soul Youth Lit­er­ary Con­fer­ence which cre­ates oppor­tu­ni­ties that extend to high school stu­dents all over the world and aims to pro­mote read­ing, lit­er­a­cy and edu­ca­tion with the inten­tion to bring youth clos­er to the arts, apart from offer­ing valu­able infor­ma­tion about col­lege and trades.

 The event fea­tures celebri­ties every year and this year it’s vir­tu­al! A few names attached to this year’s con­fer­ence are Lam­man Ruck­er, Toya John­son, Regi­nae Carter and many more.

Be sure to reg­is­ter for this incred­i­ble vir­tu­al con­fer­ence as this year’s theme is “Heal­ing Through Sto­ry­telling”, and we’ve got to say that it could­n’t be more time­ly giv­en the cir­cum­stances of 2020!!

Check out some pho­tos from this incred­i­ble annu­al event & be sure to watch our con­ver­sa­tion with the founder Clarence Nero in the video below.
