I can tell...
But I'm a take you anyway,
What the hell...
So come on get on in the ride,
And let me take you to the other side..."
-Nelly (St. Louis RAPSTAR)
I've been recieving tons of opposition in my life with my goals, but in my recent endeavors with my community development project....is most appalling. But still....I continue. I continue because I believe in what I'm doing. And a pre-warning to those opposed of my efforts.....I will never be dismayed enough to throw in the towel.
TO those who don't really know what they're up against, let me tell you....
First lets all observe the immediate crisis existing in almost all of our nations' neighborhoods. But this.....this is my home, the place that I plan on raising my daughter.

Now....is a time within our St. Louis communities that young people seek proper guidance. The main influence that they recieve is a tainted image of how media portrays our gifted leaders that are viewed as bigger than life.
My mission is to bridge entertainment and education through creative and performing arts and to make available a university level communications department to kids who do not have computers at home. I've been working night a day for more than a year now to implement within my community a place that can serve as a filter to outside influences. An outlet for important appointent figures who would otherwise be ignored by this demographic to help breed well rounded leaders. I've been putting a lot into my attempt to create an atmosphere that nurtures these future leaders talents and gifts. A medium that can re-direct the energy of our youth and expose them to resources that stand between them and higher education and secured employment post high school.
When I say youth and entertainment....many people who feel that they can stop me have arose with concern. WELL, you cannot ignore an entire generation....or stop people from being entertained. But you can have a positive impact on how it polishes our communities. And even if you can't.............DO NOT TRY TO STOP ME!
