Your Story Matters – Want to Be Featured?

At Fenix Youth Project Inc., we’re creating space for youth to speak their truth.
We know there’s power in your story — even if you’re still in the middle of it.

We’re looking to highlight voices from the Lower Eastern Shore — youth who’ve overcome challenges, found creative outlets, or are just figuring things out day by day.

🎤 Want to be featured in a future blog, zine, or video?
We’ll work with you to share your story how you want — with your words, your art, or your voice.

📧 Reach out at info@fenixyouthproject.org or DM us on social.
We’ll support you every step of the way.

You don’t have to be “finished” or “perfect.” You just have to be real.

Statement from Our Founder

Fenix Youth Project, Inc. has made the decision to decline the $530 check from Market Street Inn from the Guest Bartending event held January 19, 2025. This decision comes in light of recent events that are deeply misaligned with our organization’s values and mission.

We want to acknowledge and express our gratitude to the young people who work downtown who took the initiative to support Fenix. We recognize that $330 of the funds came directly from the bartenders, and $100 from the DJ—individuals who believed in our work and showed up for our cause. Their generosity is deeply appreciated.

However, as an organization founded by a Black woman and governed by Black leaders, we cannot, in good conscience, accept these funds. Doing so would be counterintuitive to the principles we stand for. We strongly encourage Market Street Inn to return the money to those who donated, believing they were supporting our organization.

Additionally, as an arts organization, we believe that music and the arts do not have a race. The ongoing discrimination against DJs and the labeling of music as "Black" or "White" is not only harmful but completely goes against the universal nature of artistic expression. We call on all businesses in downtown Salisbury and the surrounding areas to end these discriminatory practices and create truly inclusive spaces where all forms of music and artistry are valued.

Fenix Youth Project remains committed to uplifting and advocating for marginalized youth. We stand firm in our values and will continue to push for equity, justice, and accountability in our community.
