The Conscious Connect: Advancing Local Literacy

The Concious Connect

The Conscious Connect, is a "cultural renaissance and street revitalization" organization founded in 2015. Their mission is to mobilize neighborhoods around urban education and literacy.  The two young men behind the non-profit—Moses Mbeseha and Karlos Marshall—are eager to fulfill that mission.

In this WYSO Weekend excerpt, Mbesha and Marshall talk more their mission, what's behind it, and other programs they have underway.
