We 'Ced Youth Media

Since 2011, We’Ced Youth Media has served the City of Merced and connected youth to their community and each other via the power of media.

A project of New America Media via the YouthWire collective, We’Ced is committed to changing the narrative around young people and challenging the status quo. We provide youth with training in journalism in order to uplift powerful stories through a hyper-local community health lens. Currently, We’Ced houses 15 youth reporters and mentors, publishes online year-round, and produces two publications per year.

(and we forgot to include an introduction)

Thank you for reconnecting with your former students and being in the interview.

Liliana Figueroa-Larios is a q***r artist whose works examines the idea of remembrance and how we as a society have purposefully forgotten the intersectional history of women, lesbiansim and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. As a result, material and techniques which are deemed nontraditional such sewing and forms of quilting are the cornerstone of her work.

This specific piece highlights a vintage found photo of two women holding hands. Whether the two are friends or lovers is unknown. However, this allows Liliana to play into the unknown lives of the previous owners and place them within a q***r narrative.

Going to yosmite is a life changing experience, being able to get away from the town, stress, and people . The flora is absolutely breathtaking, walking along the rocks of the falls is extraordinary. The beads of water off the falls hitting your face feels so fresh and the daily stresses just melt away. Spending time in yosmite is another worldly experience and walking along the trails of beauty. The spirit of Yomsite is real and true, I know this because I felt something there that I couldn't put my finger on but it was speaking to me through the wind and water.

With the end of the year approaching. Now would be a good time to do some self-reflecting of your own.
We'Ced Youth gives their perspectives on why it is important to self-reflect and how they do it.

We'Ced took a stroll around Merced today to start gathering ideas for the newest publication, which this year's theme is: MERCED! Their good experience, their bad experience. You can't get mad because it's going to be their REAL experience. But you will get to color it since it will be a coloring book.
