Cameron Applewhite (they, he)

T4T Open Mics Associate Producer

 aka gentle; is a multi-faceted, jack of all trades that's passionate about literacy, philanthropy, and accessibility. Who is gentle? 

"I’m a living contradiction. That carries and says alot about me, without saying much at all, so let me explain. I’m a young person with an old soul; blessed with wisdom but inexperienced; considerate and decisive; thoughtful but impulsive. I take my weaknesses and use them to make me stronger. I’m a contradiction, and I use it to my advantage.

My goal in life is to reach people; to express myself in a way that many people can understand me. Though poetry, photography, music, coding and much more. It’s art that drives me, keeps me sane and hopeful. Being a producer helps me utilize my variety of skills no matter what." 

Cameron has over 5 years of experience in Event Planning, outreach and community events. They we're the first chair Bassist in their highschool Orchestra, have traveled around and out the country performing in Thailand. During their university studies they pursued 2 BAs in  Film/Television and Computer Networks. You'll see them occasionally at open mics, the library, or a ramen spot somewhere in our beautiful city.
