Helena Donato-Sapp (CW, ‘27) was named the 2024-2025 Long Beach Youth Poet Laureate and a finalist for the 2024-2025 Youth Poet Laureate of Los Angeles County, where she was recognized as an Los Angeles Youth Poet Ambassador. Additionally, she was invited by the California Teachers Association to be a keynote speaker for two different conferences. Helena spoke on the topic of disability justice, a topic she is well-versed in as a globally award-winning activist on disability rights and inclusion. Her global recognition has also led to her likeness being used as the design for the National Education Association’s “Get Out the Vote” banner by Art Build Workers, a group of artists, designers, photographers, and educators based out of Milwaukee.
