My favorite part of the showcase was all acts, they were wonderful; as it showcased each performers hard work. My favorite performers were Devin J. Hall and Kayla Richardson.

“Ms. Mahogany is more than an acting and singing coach, for my daughters she is a :"coach for life". She puts her heart and passion on everything she does and passes it over to the kids. I feel blessed I found Just Be You, an amazing group of talented kids and their leader Ms. Mahogany. The honest truth."

--Teresa Turin Solano. Her daughters Nathalia and Ariana are new members to the organization.

 

"My daughter has a great passion for music and singing. She has gained self-confidence by being a part of Just Be You Performing Arts. As a parent I feel relieved that she has a mentor. Just Be You is a great organization to help children in the community learn how to succeed in this field.”

--Isabel Espinoza. Her daughter Jocelyn was an original member of the organization.

 

"Brody [my son] is happy to be engaging with other talented, like-minded children; in an encouraging, non-competitive, non-stressful environment. Without JBY, the choices are to meet like-minded children, but in stressful situations, like auditions, or not participate in anything at all. JBY fills the gap in the best way possible and we have truly enjoyed the experience!"

--Miroslava Ferrer. Her son Brody is the organization's newest member.

 

"Just Be You Performing Arts can play an important role not only in building the next generation of young artists but in developing untapped human capital that benefits our community,"

--Lawrence E. McCullough, Ph.D.,  Former Executive Director Union County Performing Arts Center. Mr. McCullough helped Just Be You secure a venue at Hamilton Stage of the Performing Arts for the organization's first workshop in 2014.

 

"JBY can be an asset to the young people in the community by keeping them engaged and off the street",

--Damon and Mary Lynn Williams, parents of an aspiring young actor named Lance, a member of the organization.
