Jordon Veira, Founder
“I believe that each of us has within themselves a world of emotions and moods to pull out, to share, they just have to understand how, so I founded Spoke N’heard, to support young people, to help them find spaces where they can shout to the world who they are, and can do so through any art form. The spoken or written word is my tool to educate, inspire, empower myself and others, to do my part in the world, to give my contribution to improve society, and why not; to also realize my dreams.”
