My name is Irlanzujuan Jovant'e Seymour Martin , whoo that's a doozy. To keep things simple I am also referred to as Eli. I was born and raised the Bay Area, mainly San Francisco. I love the arts and consider myself an artist in many ways. My goals and dreams consist of getting into the career fields of acting, music, and dance while being the person in my family and amongst my friends to help connect us all to a better life. I am the Youthline Program coordinator at CHALK after spending 5 years growing in CHALK as a CHALK baby. CHALK is a San Francisco project that helps youth transition into adult hood successfully, through an array of programs that offer youth support to accomplish their dreams and their goals. If you are ever in the neighbor hood near 271 Austin st. in San Francisco come drop by I would love to meet you.
