"For so long I wondered, searching far and wide for a place to call my own where I could reside.
A place to lay my heart without fear or shame where I could be myself and not feel like I'm to blame," says Rodenae Rodenae, a teen attending a summer camp in Dayton, Ohio.
Robert Owens, the director of the Signature Levitt Music and Creative Arts Camp, says the camp gives teens "a different outlet, a different support to express that creativity or express frustration," per WKEF.
"We know that if they don't have that outlet, it can be bottled up, it can turn into violence," he adds.
Owens and his wife, Sierra Leone, have been running the camp for four years, offering music, dance, poetry, and more for teens in the Dayton area.
"We really started this camp out of a need during the pandemic for mental health and social and emotional wellbeing and to support kids going through trauma," Owens says.
"So with that said, this is also an opportunity for kids that feel displaced like maybe they don't feel that they're not enough or they don't know where they belong," he adds.
