My Avatar Voice


Youth Programs / Art, Drama and Dance -
Youth Fall 2025

Discover Your Voice Through Your Avatar

In this unique online class, students will meet their own avatar — an online twin created just for them. Using their avatar, they will build a storyboard presentation to share their unique voices and stories. This class encourages youth to explore mental health through expressive and emotional writing, helping them tell others who they are today and who they want to become tomorrow.

Having a voice that is seen, heard, and valued helps prepare children for success in school, work, and life.

A parent or adult is required to be present on the Zoom call or nearby during the class.

A few days before the class, the instructor will contact families to request a headshot of the student to create their personalized avatar.

Katiya Xiong


When the Covid-19 pandemic began in early 2020, Katiya Xiong was moved to explore the use of avatars and emotional writing after witnessing her 6-year-old son struggle with learning and social connection. In response, she began creating personalized avatars to support children in expressing themselves.

Since then, she has crafted and shared over 100 unique avatars with children in her local community—through schools, libraries, and churches—connecting with parents and colleagues along the way. This experience ignited Katiya’s passion for youth empowerment, using avatars as a tool to help children explore their identities and support their mental well-being.
