What is truer than a tale of passion? What is more influential than a tale of passion? And what is more stronger than youth in our globe?
Youth have been sidelined for ages, they are not just our present nor a big majority. Youth are the future and definitely our change makers.
We decided to create a platform where youth will be able to tell their #TalesOfPassion and let the world shown through their eyes.
