Movement BE Center is a Black-owned San Diego youth arts nonprofit at 6787 El Cajon Boulevard in College Area, providing creative storytelling and arts education programming across the 92115 ZIP. Founded in 2016 by Nathaniel J. Howard under the legal name Movement Brave Entrepreneur, the 501(c)(3) operates from a storefront near the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and 68th Street, roughly a mile east of SDSU. Programming includes summer camps, physical fitness opportunities, and arts education sessions spanning visual and performance disciplines—a curriculum model that overlaps with the storytelling and illustration workshops at Little Fish Comic Book Studio elsewhere on the El Cajon Boulevard corridor. The center's mission channels youth self-expression through poetry, visual arts, and performance-based workshops designed to build a growth mindset while addressing mental health challenges through creative outlets. Movement BE identifies as LGBTQ+ affirming and a transgender safe space, extending its reach to populations often underrepresented in traditional after-school arts programming. The center hosts ticketed events and open-mic nights that spotlight BIPOC artists and creatives, building a performance pipeline for young San Diegans whose first public readings take place on the same stretch of El Cajon Boulevard that anchors the neighborhood's international dining and cultural scene. Youth participants develop poetry portfolios and visual art projects that the organization uses to advocate for arts funding in under-resourced school districts, a mission shared by transcenDANCE Youth Arts Project in its dance-based programming for College Area teens. The storefront model keeps overhead low while providing a dedicated physical space—open weekday afternoons—where students can workshop material outside of school hours without competing for gymnasium or cafeteria time.
