At the age of 14 years, Yenque's life was turned around by the transformative power of art when his mother New York veteran actress
Teresa Yenque (The Affair, 30 Rock, Law & Order) enrolled him in a drama workshop that helped him go from a shy, 230lbs young man who stuttered, to a confident and gifted actor, at home on the stage and comfortable with himself.
Thanks to this life-changing experience, Yenque has a passion for helping teens make it through those sometimes-difficult years, using art as a vehicle for development of life skills and self-confidence. This is why he created the non-profit organization Arts for a Better Tomorrow.
