How To Be A Beautiful Weirdo

To be a  Beautiful Weirdo is to be beautiful and weird at the same time. The definition of Beautiful Weirdoz is being yourself, being different, and knowing who you are despite what other people may think about you. Being a Beautiful Weirdo is about being different and standing out from the rest of the pack. Beautiful Weirdoz is a movement that is not yet in full effect, but on the rise. Beautiful Weirdoz don't fit in they fit OUT!!! Beautiful Weirdoz never fall into the category of being anybody's expectations because you never know what to expect with a Beautiful Weirdo.

Introduction to YUR Teen


Welcome to YURTeen, the official online magazine for teens. We first want everyone to know who we are. We go by Da Misfit Twiinz.(Jalesa and Shalesa). With YURTeen Magazine we want to be able to inspire people, including other teens, pre-teens,and even young adults. We want other teens to know that we relate also in things like peer-pressure, wanting to make a difference, having a voice ,wanting to BE different, relationships, and so much more..

 
 

Da Misfit Twiinz and Gregory in the Community

Our experience at the 26th Annual African Street Festival September 19- 21, 2008.    This was not our first time attending the festival, however it was our first volunteer experience.  While we had the opportunity to hear and see so many different talented people in so many areas, whether it was through poetry / spoken word, dance, music, drums, various African, Latino and Native American cultures.  We were given the chance to meet so many talented and phenomenal people ( Kwame Lillard, free rider / civil rights activist; Rashad tha Poet, recording artist;  Tasha Jones, poet; Bruce George, co founder of HBO's Def Poetry Jam; Baba Ken Amen, psalmist; Kashonda Babb, owner of Generation Now, etc).    In between the volunteering we also had the chance to hear and see several young people ( teens) changing the world with their words.  They were from Youth Speaks Nashville.  The whole experience in one we will never forget.

What Are Da Misfit Twiinz Listening To?

 Top 20

We must say there is not much music today worthy of being listened to. There are hardly any songs with positive messages. Music is not the way it used to be. Artists used to be able to have fun with their music or had something to talk about or at least music worth being listened to.
