Get Lit

Arts

Founded by Diane Luby Lane, Get Lit — Words Ignite is a Los Angeles–based nonprofit that increases youth literacy and inspires creative expression through spoken word poetry and visual media. Wondros partnered on the "Live from the Revolution" video series, filming youth slam poets and spoken word performances weekly to capture how students use poetry to respond to social issues and express community voice. The series offers an authentic look at poetry for social consciousness, turning young talent into storytellers who spark dialogue and empower peers through the literary arts.
