Be the change
I want people to know that they don’t have to be bystanders in life. They themselves have the potential to make things different and better.
It’s In Your Hands
The only future that is guaranteed is the one you create for yourself.
dream. pursue. fail & thrive. repeat.
We let both failure and success define us, forgetting to repeat the cycle of envisioning new dreams and the character shaping pursuit. Ultimately, its not success or failure that counts, it’s what kind of person we become because of it.
Accept Not Except
No person should be excluded or treated differently because of who they are or what they look like. While these two simple words may sound the same, they carry very different meanings in the both the dictionary and the world around us.
The Key to Success
Everyone wants to be successful. Some say success only comes with luck or privilege, but over the course of my life I’ve learned that the first step to success is action. I believe anyone can be successful if they work hard to archieve their dreams.
Nature Made You
I love nature. I love being part of nature. I hope kids pick that up too.

For All the Haters

Season One Finalists Share Their Thoughts
Last year was the first season of The Say Something Poster Project. We learned a lot from our first season and wanted to find out what some of last year’s finalists learned from their experiences. We reached out to a few of the designers who submitted work to both our first and current seasons to see what they had to say.
Yes We’re Open
Among the foreclosed properties, abandoned infrastructure and empty plots that flavor Detroit, we’ve searched for signs of progress and human ingenuity by identifying and documenting an object almost too ubiquitous to draw notice; the open sign.
Learn to Dance in the Rain!
We must not let frustrating situations hold us back. Our next generation needs to aspire to make the most of every moment, in any environment.
Make a Difference
If every person in the world helped, mentored or befriended one other person, the world would be a better place. Make a difference in your world.
Knowledge and Humility
Younger people shouldn’t be content with only what they study as a major or subject in school they should embrace the fact there are means to branch out and overlap their chosen discipline with other things. e.g. Culture, technology, philosophy, etc.

20×20 Presentation at Pecha Kucha 25
PechaKucha, from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, is a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. PechaKucha presentations are meant to be a fast and powerful medium for communication. At Boston’s 25th PechaKucha event on November 15, SSPP’s very own Jason Stevens explained in 400 seconds what posters mean to him, to at-risk youth, and why you should contribute to the Say Something Poster Project.
Not Commodities
