LIFE CHANGING MOMENTS

hi, my name is middle-class-white-suburbia... with a limited perspective.

i can only see the world through the lens i was brought up with...

until i seek for a new one.

did you know that not all kids that grow up on the street end up drug pushers and thieves?

they may start off that way, because they have nothing else... no one else.

but there are some, with a divine purpose on earth.

to show a better way for those who otherwise would just live to survive...

not live to follow their dreams.

hip hop is for thugs, no?

hip hop is drugs, sex, misogynistic, angry.

maybe because no one is out there telling these talented artists that there is more to write about

something so much deeper and truer to who they are.

there is divinity in it... a way for these kids... who have literally grown up in hell... to speak.

last night i watched, in amazement, as one man started a wave of change.

not only change in the way these kids will write... but also live their lives.

and a change in the way others will see what is really happening on the streets and that these kids have so much more to them than what we would ever think.

it gave me a new lens.

want one yourself? go see this movie.

it's coming out on MAY 11 nationwide.
