Storyteller Bio
Maranda Ward, EdD, MPH, is a community educator, curriculum developer, and youth builder. Her participatory action research explores how urban youth peer educators in an arts-based program actively construct their identities. Maranda’s research is currently being translated into practice at Promising Futures, a youth development pipeline (for ages 11-24) that integrates a social justice approach to positive youth development and uses hip hop presentations to communicate HIV prevention messages. She is also a certified trainer for three Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) evidence-based interventions: Focus on Youth + ImPACT, VOICES/VOCES, and Project AIM.
