Omekongo is an award-winning Congolese-American musician, poet, author, motivational speaker, and activist who uses his voice to empower global citizens to take a stand and inspire change. Thousands of students across the country have been inspired by Omekongo and his 1,000,000 Youth Campaign, including attendees to last year's STAND Camp. Now, Omekongo is on the road on a STAND Spring Tour, advocating for Sudan, Congo, and genocide prevention!
We are trying to arrange for him to be a guest speaker at West High this March, and it'd be really great if you'd all be on board to help it get set up. Come to the meetings on Thursdays in Mrs. Campbell's room C-417 for more information!

Here is also a little rap he made up in honor of STAND :) :
