Empowering Young Readers Through the Art of Broadcasting

Tisha Mays has been deeply honored and humbled to receive a proclamation from the City of Toledo recognizing the aMAYSing Kids Broadcasting Camp and Media Mentorship Program. June 28th has been officially declared Tisha Mays Commemoration Day in celebration of her dedication to aMAYSing Kids and the community.

Tisha believes that together, as a community, collaboration is key to creating spaces where young voices can shine and children can shape their own narratives and become agents of change. She provides the expertise and platform, but it is the children who are the voices, they are doing the important work.

This recognition is about more than just the program; it represents the power of community, purpose, and passion. What began as a vision has grown into a labor of love and a heartfelt commitment to uplift, educate, and empower youth through media, storytelling, and mentorship.

Tisha extends her gratitude to the City of Toledo for believing in the mission, and to every parent, child, volunteer, and partner who has contributed to the journey. Their support continues to fuel the program’s purpose and reminds everyone of the meaningful why behind the work.

A firm believer in collaboration, Tisha often says, “It takes a village,” and she proudly calls the aMAYSing Kids community her village. Together, they continue to strengthen this village so that children feel empowered to control their own narratives and create a brighter future.
