Dear Chance, Pat, & Colleen,

I’m writing to express my interest in the role of intern for Chance the Rapper, LLC. I've already demonstrated my interest in this role about year ago when I asked Pat about openings for interns and the possibility to "make dope shit with yr dope team". Since then, I've been persistent in my desire to work with y’all because Chance and Social Works’ mission aligns perfectly with my personal vision and professional work. I have seen y'all exemplify collaboration, family love, gratitude, and service to yr people.

I'm hella determined, creatively ambitious, and energized by ideas. Last September, The Party and I went to Magnificent Coloring Day. After connecting with Justin Cunningham at the Social Works booth, I pitched to him a collaboration—Young Artists Festival, a proposal that was later sent to Justin and Ken Bennett by email.

I take mad initiative. Two years ago, I decided that in order to continue to do what I love and contribute to the communities that matter, I needed to create my own career. I help schools strategize to solve problems. I empower young people to build their biggest dreams. And I design, propose, and produce experiences—retreats, workshops, and performance nights—for youth and young adults.


My projects, detailed in my pitch deck, are centered on empowering people with possibility, celebrating creativity and demonstrating the power of the collective. Building these projects has required hella finesse and hella side-hustling over the past 10 months since I graduated from college.

My non-traditional professional path has combined education, arts, wellbeing and civic engagement. I've developed the skills to communicate my ideas effectively--whether through writing, teaching or digital design. I know that my greatest strength lies in my ability to collaborate and my drive to make possible what seem like impossible ideas.

As a yung strategist, experience designer and creator of communities, I believe I would make a magnificent addition to your team. Y'all are some of the greatest leaders and teachers of our time and I would be honored to join you working towards your vision. I'm available to interview on April 26-27th in Oakland, CA. I'm looking forward to discussing my candidacy with you. Thanks for your consideration.

Blessings,
Alexx Temeña
