Carlos Segovia Heart of Compassion Award
Honoring Carlos
The Carlos Segovia Scholarship Fund, in partnership with with Beyond Baroque, honors the memory of Carlos Segovia, a late Get Lit Player & U.S marine.
Carlos was killed in South LA on Sept. 16, 2016, an act of random violence. He was an advocate for animal rights & eradicating homelessness; he was beloved to all who knew him.
Each year on his birthday, March 7, this award will be gifted to two young writers in pursuit of post-secondary work, and in need of financial support, who exhibits Carlos’s empathy & kindness.
