Why DJ Volunteers With The NDA
“I continue to help because of how much of an impact the JUDL had on my life as a man of color from an urban area. I want to pay it forward and continue to show the benefits that debate has on our youth and our children. It is so much bigger than debate. The exposure, the friends, the skills, the belief and confidence- the experiences- those are all things that have to be learned through action versus spoken about. The JUDL changed my life.” – Davendra “D.J.” Beni, judge at NDA, Orange HS c/o 2007
