Akuyoe is also the founder and CEO of Spirit Awakening, an arts organization dedicated to helping at-risk youth and children in the juvenile justice system realize their spiritual identity. Akuyoe shares stories of her life as an actor, finding her self-worth, what it means to live with integrity, and how working with incarcerated children led her to start the nonprofit, Spirit Awakening. She also shares about her upcoming annual event, Voices of the Unheard, where formerly incarcerated children read personal essays and poems. This is a super inspiring show. Enjoy!
