Kesau'c Hill is the founder of Arts for At-Risk Youth and the author of Born in It and Serengeti Noise. His work is rooted in the belief that storytelling, creativity, and access to the arts can help young people recognize their value, understand their experiences, and imagine possibilities beyond their circumstances.
Through AFARY, Hill has created opportunities for youth to engage with art, literature, mentorship, and cultural experiences that encourage confidence, self-expression, and personal growth. His work as both a founder and an author reflects a long-standing commitment to ensuring that young people—particularly those from underserved communities—have access to stories that acknowledge their realities while expanding their vision of what is possible.
Born in It and Serengeti Noise extend that mission beyond AFARY’s programs. Each book invites readers into meaningful conversations about identity, environment, resilience, culture, and the experiences that shape us.
